Mayor Tishaura O. Jones and other elected officials spoke to the importance of the $5 Million Dollar Direct Financial Assistance and how it will assist families in the area. She said the City cannot return to normal because we need an equitable recovery from this current crisis that leaves no one behind. The Board of Aldermen gave initial approval Tuesday night to Board Bill 2, the American Recovery Act funding bill, putting it one vote away from final passage. The plan includes $5 million in direct payments of $500 to about 10,000 families who qualify for assistance after an amendment to the bill. Mayor Jones says she is glad the measure passed with the direct payments.
