(Beaver Falls, Pa.) United States Representative Conor Lamb joined Frank Sparks in hour number two of Teleforum on 1230 WBVP, 1460 WMBA, and 99.3 FM. The pair talked about a variety of subjects in the interview. Representative Lamb told Frank Sparks his thought of two local police chiefs who passed away over the weekend and his thankfulness for their dedication to our communities. Lamb then spoke of the Economic Relief package that was passed nearly three weeks ago and why it is such a problem getting the new unemployment portion of the system implemented in Pennsylvania. Lamb said the problems that Pennsylvanians are experiencing is way to slow and unacceptable and needs to be fix as soon as possible. He said Pennsylvania is not he only state that is having issues, but you can tell that leadership makes a big difference and you can tell the states that getting the people their money is a priority. Congressman Lamb feels that this should be our highest priority whether it’s unemployment or the small business loan. The pair then talked about the Economic Relief Package and that people should start receiving their stimulus check from the Federal Government this week. It will then be released in stages to Americans. Sparks then asked Rep. Lamb about the SBA and the confusion of what is happening that when a business owner goes to their bank to apply for the SBA loan the banks are confused and don’t really know how to help the business owners. Lamb said it is a matter of poor execution. This isn’t a matter that can be solved by standing at a press conference for 5 minutes and talking about it on Television. Lamb said you need a concerted effort by the Government starting with the SBA in Washington and working its way out into the country with clear simple rules that are simple to administer, and they just didn’t do that they just skipped that step. Lamb said that we created this in law three weeks ago and time was wasted getting these banks ready to make these loans and now banks are asking basic questions about these loans and not getting clear answers. He said it’s just poor execution and now they want another $250 billion but they’re not really willing to talk about why it didn’t go well in round one. Lamb feels they are not prioritizing the details.

The talk then shifted to Senator Casey’s legislation to give the front-line workers a $25,000 bonus for being on the front line. Lamb said he agrees with it and feels that this is like going to war and this is like hazard pay. The pair then went on to talk about the next round of the Economic relief and then the United States Postal Service and his thoughts about President Trump saying he would veto a bill that has funding to bail out the Postal Service. Lamb feels that the Postal Service is a vital part of our society and they hire a big percentage of Veterans’.
