MISSION, Texas – Congressman Henry Cuellar held a conference call with reporters on May 27 to discuss federal funding for counties and cities under the Coronavirus-inspired CARES Act.
Culler pointed out that the State of Texas is the conduit for a lot of the federal funds, approved under the CARES Act, for cities and counties.
He said the State of Texas is holding back a lot of these federal funds. The intent of Congress, Cuellar said, is to get the funding to cities and counties, as soon as possible.
