Pinal to again ask Ducey to reallocate ‘fair’ COVID funding
by Raquel Hendrickson | inMaricopa
Pinal County will come knocking on Gov. Doug Ducey’s door again.
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to bring its COVID-19 data back to the Governor’s Office to request its “fair share” of CARES Act funding.
After the U.S. Treasury gave Arizona $1.8 billion to help local governments with the cost of mitigating the impact of the new coronavirus, Ducey set aside $27 million for Pinal County. Cities and counties with populations over 500,000 received funding directly from the federal government.
