Schools are closed everywhere.. will I see that in my Real Estate Tax Bill? Doubtful.

Shhh. You’ll give them ideas.
So far zero state colleges or private schools have offered any refunds to the parents of our grand kids and great nephews and nieces.
Nor have any private housing owners,offered any refunds or transfer of this year’s rental to the upcoming fall semester.

No tax refunds in Californicator land.
I think I will take a long slow bubble bath in that pool of warm liberal tears.
My Hunny is a Sodexo employee, a “Lunch Lady” at this USM Portland campus, and has been out of work for 2 weeks, so far.
I cannot rightly say, but wonder if they are still billing the UM system, or have they claimed Force Mejeure?
Looks like your wife will have some work coming up.

USM’s Sullivan Gym to be converted to homeless shelter by next week
The gym on Falmouth Street in Portland will be open to men and woman who need shelter and aren’t showing symptoms of having COVID-19.

The university, which has shut down and sent students home, responded to a request from the Maine Emergency Management Agency, Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Maine State Housing Authority and homeless advocates, said Nancy Griffin, USM’s chief operations officer.
Additional shelter space is needed in Maine’s largest city because the Oxford Street Shelter – the only municipally run, low-barrier shelter in the state – often exceeds its 154-bed capacity and cannot meet federal guidelines to keep cots or mats at least 6 feet apart during the coronavirus pandemic. Guests at the shelter are now sleeping about 2 feet apart, city officials said.
. . .
DHHS and MaineHousing will cover staffing, cots, bedding and other supplies, Griffin said. Meals will be provided by Sodexo, the university’s food service contractor. Details on how those meals will be served weren’t finalized, she said.
. . .
However, other shelters across Maine have closed to new intakes, Geyer said, resulting in an increase in calls for space availability at Oxford Street and raising concern that other cities and towns may be sending homeless residents to Portland.
Of the 44 new intakes at Oxford Street since March 12, only 10 said they were from Portland, Geyer said. And staff members saw a police cruiser from a nearby town drop a person off at the shelter, Grondin said.
“Cities and towns still have an obligation to provide emergency shelter services to their residents,” Grondin said. “They can’t just be dropping people off at the Oxford Street Shelter and thinking their obligation doesn’t exist.”
She just came to me with a long face, saying “I didn’t sign up for this!”. If they’re just fixing box lunches, that’s one thing, but face-to-face hot served meals? I think not.
Question:::
Will the money to be returned go to the student, the student’s parents, (if there is one)the Student’s benefactor
OR.......drum roll.....
Since the student loans don’t have to be repaid (or something along that line) shouldn’t the money go to the lender?
Just askin’
Mr. GG2’s nephew is the President of one of the Univ of Maine’s campuses. For awhile he was letting a few students stay in one of the dorms because their families told them not to come home. I guess they were afraid they would bring the virus. Plus some were gay and lesbian and their families just don’t want them. I guess they have all been sent home now.
