Not crazy about this either but "salaries and expenses" could in theory be to cover staff salaries, overtime, extra travel, etc related to this pandemic. And it absolutely pales in comparison to Porkzilla that Pelosi tried to ram through a few days ago. Most importantly the ballot harvesting bullshit has been removed.
My guess is the dems saw the writing on the wall and realized they didn't want to die on the hill of windmill subsidies, etc.
