Biden plan could rescue states and cities from pandemic’s financial toll
President-elect Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief plan would provide a major financial rescue for states and cities, eliminating the need for deep budget cuts that would weigh on the recovery and easing the risk in the municipal-bond market.
