The city of Sacramento Tuesday received a $89.6 million federal government stimulus check.
Now, it just needs to decide how to spend it.
“This $89,623,427 stimulus check from the federal government starts our economic recovery,” a tweet posted to Mayor Darrell Steinberg’s account Tuesday reads. “It can’t be used to fill budget holes, and must be spent by Dec. 31. My goal is to use it to carry out the #MeasureU goals of growing our economy in way that uplifts all our neighborhoods.”
Steinberg wants to use the stimulus money to help address the city’s housing crisis; redevelop commercial corridors; help fund the Aggie Square project at UC Davis Medical Center; fund tourism initiatives; support the city’s growing creative economy of artists; and support workforce development training for recent college graduates and adults, he told The Sacramento Bee last week. He’d also like to see it fund some of the inclusive economic development projects that have been submitted, he said.

Maybe they can build another couple miles of that high speed train to nowhere.
We pay taxes. We are retired. We worked hard. We saved for retirement. We didn’t get a stimulus check. Our son did, for him and his wife. We got NOTHING!
Lamborghinis or Koenigseggs for the Mayor, City Council, Police Chief and Fire Chief. BMW’s or Mercedes for all their wives and girlfriends.
Is it just me, but why do I feel that money is going to be watched very closely in where it will go.
On salary and benefits for government “workers”. Next question?

That’s all it is .... a waste of taxpayer money.
spent on crack cocaine and boonsfarm wine
How else can these shiftless bastards stay in office.
What the heck? Sacramento is a sanctuary city...
“...and support workforce development training for recent college graduates...”
Sorry this made me laugh. After completing college over I’m sure a 5-6 year period, graduates still need training to enter the workforce?
The job of kolleges today is to teach the basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills that government get-high skools don’t bother with.
And many of us out here are still waiting for our PPP and EIDL loans.
Banana flavored condoms..??
I know how it will be spent: public pensions, bennies, salaries.
BOHICA, taxpayers.
