They voted to make this money available, you would think the state legislatures could have gotten off their asses, grabbed the ball, and run with it. It's free money for Gods sake, do something with it. Nope. In our state they sued the governor and actually tried to impeach him - over masks - while real help for the state went begging. Dumbasses.

I'm not sure it's a matter of the legislature being at fault though. The money goes to the State program if I'm not mistaken. Here's a decent read on what is viewed as the problem.
