It’s been greater than 3 months because the Home of Representatives handed the $3 trillion COVID aid plan referred to as the Heroes Act. It stays stalled within the Senate.
Baltimore County Government Johnny Olszewski stated there are dire funds penalties forward for the county if the cash from the Heroes Act doesn’t come by means of.
About $1 trillion of the act is for state and native governments which were hammered by sharply lowered tax revenues and elevated spending associated to COVID-19.
To date, Baltimore County has been in a position to keep away from laying anybody off, due to the $140 million it acquired from the CARES Act earlier this 12 months.
“With out these {dollars}, we’d be actually hamstrung,” Olszewski stated.
Olszewski stated the stakes are actual if there isn’t any second infusion of money.
