This will be duplicated in many other states across the US in the coming year because their budgets all got the one time money shot from DC. In Jacksonville Fl for instance, the money sent went for teacher raises...no one asked where is the money coming for these raises next year. Reminds me of the 100,000 cop program under Clinton. They hired a bunch of officers with the money which was one year money, when the DC money went away, the cities were in the hobson’s choice of firing them or finding the money to keep them employed.

Good point. I was on a city council when that came up. Our council declined the money for that very reason. Funny thing is, a couple months later we got what I would consider a kinda nasty letter from the feds chastising us for not taking the money. I should have kept a copy of that. Crazy, getting a threatening letter about not taking money.
