Bullock admin reduces Covid relief for local governments by $100M
The Bullock administration is reducing federal Covid-19 relief money for Montana cities and counties by $100 million this year and routing it instead to unemployment benefits and grants to businesses – a move that caught local governments by surprise.
“I think there is frustration across the state from local governments, in that we’d been working under a certain set of assumptions for quite some time and, on a dime, to make a course-correction here is not easy,” Missoula County Commissioner Dave Strohmaier told MTN News Tuesday.
