New Orleans is set to receive a whopping $375 million from the federal coronavirus relief legislation passed last week, an infusion equal to more than half of the city's pre-pandemic annual budget that officials say will be critical to stabilizing city finances.

New Orleans’ share of the federal funding, included in the relief package passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden, is among the largest in the country for a city its size and much larger than any other city or parish in Louisiana.

Louisiana's state government will receive about $3.4 billion directly and another $1.8 billion will flow to local governments in the state, according to the congressional analysis.

Probably have to give most of it to the families of the Hard Rock collapse.

I guess we will see flyers soon for Destroya’s $375m re-election crack party.

pull the cities out of debt because they can’t properly budget and make cuts. And in a year, they’ll be right back where they were financially. because Democrats..

This makes me so angry. This city needed a serious belt tightening and come to Jesus moment with the lack of cash their policies were sure to bring in.

This is like giving a kid who you give an allowance to more money because they need school supplies and they spent all the money on ice cream. No change in behavior and they’ll likely just go spend it all on ice cream again and be screaming twice as loud in a few years. Totally kicks the can down the road and props up a totally inept government.

It’s infuriating.

You give your kids an allowance so they can buy their own school supplies?
