It's a massive money grab and/or reallocation of resources depending on where you're at in the food chain.
See also Benito Inslee's construction of a field hospital at Century Link, millions of dollars of waste - only to be dismantled days later.

That Century Link thing was dismantled only 7+ days later. Is there any conceivable way Inslee didn't know it would soon be torn down?PurpleThrobber said:It's a massive money grab and/or reallocation of resources depending on where you're at in the food chain.

It was probably him going "Set it up and take dramatic photos of it. That way we can justify taking the federal money. Then we'll tear it down and offer it to the highest bidder", or whatever. -
Imagine how grim it could have been though...

Sounds exciting, though I think declaring an emergency in the midst of a public health crisis allows federal money on a guilt-free level.DerekJohnson said:

This debacle is going to put the hurt on municipalities all over the country. The obliteration of the economy will hammer the finances of city and county governments. Tax receipts are going to plummet.
If there's any upside, perhaps the local governments will finally have some stones and make some changes in their operations. They could start with decertifying unions for all employees who are sucking at the teet of sweet gubmint pensions, then broom the non-performers.
