Most US cities can not directly support the Crown financial statements. Is there a way to solve,

While Congress was preparing the final stage of crown relief last month, Rep Joe Neguse Colorado noticed a problem for her home Back District: nine of its 10 districts were too small part in each of the $150 billion euro established to get the bill to state aid and local governments. Governments were represented less than 500,000 emergency persons unauthorized access at costs that states, counties and cities were offset during the harvest wreath crisis. If Neguse did the math was charged 85% of his shut-out district fund, even if the virus does not retain its members, because they lived in places that highlight among the million and a half people fell. Neguse district was ambiguous. At the end of the 3262 39.044 county and local governments nationwide, only 171 qualified for direct emergency aid within the Treasury Department guidelines for treatment Act, which was signed into law on March 27 in eleven countries with small populations – Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming – each city and county was not eligible for the money. Not qualify common in places like St. Louis, Miami and Cleveland. States could still get help and distribute that money to local governments at their discretion – or not. In all these places, state and local governments paid to workers in the front line, such as ambulance drivers, police and utility workers quickly disappear bankroll. Taxpayers support food banks saw an application record as insurance reserves against unemployment and tax revenues Lote sale orders of stay-at-home to drain state. In some places they can not access the COVID-19 Driving is still increasing and the burden on public funds will only grow. But even in places with low or decreasing number of cases, stay-at-home jobs and the local economy tanked and struggle governments for employees and maintain basic services.

Once the CARES law passed, this light in the inevitable continuation of the historic stimulus package launched at Neguse to rally legislators from across the political spectrum. Four weeks later, he collected 147 co-sponsors – including five Republicans – running through the ideological bridge from progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez right tough immigration Paul Gosar line. Their proposal would set aside $250 billion over the next stimulus package governments put those less than 500,000 people, distributed on a per capita basis. “Instead of trying to pick winners and losers, but rather than let any city in America help the wounds,” said Neguse, the first time the democratic, representative of the freshman Democrats gather while driving. But the struggle is faced by more aid to states and local governments already headwind. Since the house is preparing for next week to work back to what the legislature CARES 2.0, Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling already proposed go up to $1 Katherine, state and local government relief. But the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican of Kentucky and chairman Donald Trump’s claim that Washington is not working worse bail-outing States decisions. McConnell States proposed that does not explain the crisis, bankruptcy is allowed to start time and time again. In an interview on Monday, Trump said he does not support what he considers “bailouts” government. “It is not fair for the Republicans, because all countries in need of aid, are run by Democrats in any case,” he told the New York Post Trump. The attitude may, for good drama in Washington, but it hurt places like Gilpin County, Colorado, population 6243. Gilpin County, located in Neguse district, the local more interested in the land of COVID-19 economic consequences, according a Wall Street Journal analysis of national data. Four out of five workers Gilpin County are employed in the hospitality and gaming, and 70% of the county’s budget comes from the casino, now dark. “In Gilpin, was only a few cases of COVID-19 virus, but they are the largest economic loss of every county in America,” said Neguse. It ‘a problem that the leaders of the local two main parties in this state violates united. manage Fort Mayor Collins’ Republican and Democratic Mayor Boulder both similar challenges: a tightening demand for social services, furloughed workers, the industries that can take two years, their plan again and virtually no tax revenues give no room for find breath. Fort Collins Mayor Wade Troxell already has a quarter of its 2,400 workers in the city, construction projects in late and leaving the introduction of a hiring freeze. However, its city budget is 50% of the sales tax, is preparing for further cuts. He assured help to the city from other parts of the Cares Act, including a Housing and Urban Development granted $649,000, taken millions of $11 million for public transport and to keep $17, the regional airport in operation. But Troxell anticipated drag on Fort Collins’ crown economy anywhere from $25 to $53 million EUR may be in the next two years, without help from Congress. “The stabilization of sales would really help you get through this time … This is really set up as a community on the other side of this to come out,” Troxell said. “It happens in every community, not just big.” About an hour south, overlooking Boulder Mayor Sam Weaver the same problems. It ‘been on leave of 135 members of its permanent staff of 1,400 workers in the city, and the entire season Team Trail ranger and lifeguard. It has a loss of $40 million over the next two years and is open frustrated with Washington predicting the emergency two-stage system. As Fort Collins, Boulder has money to subsidies for the development of HUD. But the $485,000 nowhere close to what the city needs this hole to dig the earth seem to have, says Weaver. “In order to retrieve the requested billion in this respect, there is a drop in the bucket,” he says. “We are the ones that provide immediate assistance … we currently have no federal support for what we are working.” Intentionally or not, the way care money for states and local governments assigned automatically creates a Law Division within states among residents in large urban centers and those in suburban or rural areas. In Colorado, for example, the state law must provide a maximum capacity of about $2.2 billion based on population. About one in five of these dollars will automatically switch to the first five counties and Denver, the only city that is large enough to qualify the state. About 44% of the state’s population lives in this hub. If the other 59 countries of the state, 56% or so of Coloradans, each of these aids have to decide until the state. In other words, if you live in a tight spot, Washington has made sure that the local government has got some help. If you do not, then it must be decided at the Capitol for bureaucrats to see if your local city and county agencies for help. If Washington wrote the bill, it argued some lawmakers that municipalities with fewer than 500,000 people could access federal assistance through HUD grants that can be used for the definition in the broad sense of the development community projects by local governments. They did, but the limited funds agreed on the need for some came less than 50,000 people with all restrictions and excluded communities. That brings its own practical political risk: about two-thirds of Americans live in communities of less than 50,000 people. In many of these places people can test positive less frequently than their cousins ​​in the big cities. But that could change if the virus spreads to more rural parts of the country, and a local government that is staring at a mountain of red ink poses one year disadvantage of many voters might think that the government could have been prevented. It’s not lost a political calculation that borders Neguse certain that, if successful, would try to be a hero at any cost to rural America officials to decide if the sheriff’s deputies or the waste water discharged engineer. “We are on the front end of this crisis,” said Neguse. “The truth of the matter, I am afraid of what is happening on the way down, unless we deal with right now.” Please send tips, leads and stories from the front to [email protected].
