Are MAGA-Republicans Burying Local Funding?

The American Rescue Plan has already allocated funding to counties to improve local communities, but are Republican lead county governments burying the funding? [from the Rural Outreach Coordinated Campaign]( {NAME} - The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) has already allocated funds to counties across America which can be used to invest in broadband infrastructure, public facilities, and investments in housing and neighborhoods. But for apparent personal and/or political reasons, many Republican-controlled counties are withholding the funds - even removing them completely from the public eye by partitioning the money off from the official budget. Money to span the digital divide, award grants to local small businesses and upgrade the local hospital may right now be purposely withheld by your county officials to the detriment of your own community... The need to elect transparent and ethical county commissioners could not be more apparent. ROCC partners are compiling a toolkit for county commissioners to push for full application of ARPA funds in their communities while also publishing a companion toolkit for activists to investigate and spotlight what is being done in their own counties with these funds. It is our job to hold our local officials accountable, while guiding the public in understanding the function of their government to empower them to make change!
