Features

How Much is COVID-19 Hurting State and Local Revenues?
As in other economic downturns, the pandemic has reduced state and local revenues, but this time is different. This Q&A examines the fiscal impact that COVID-19 has had on state and local governments and is drawn from the Brookings Institute's paper, "Fiscal Effects of COVID-19."

Restaurant Owners Seek Help From Congress
Restaurant owners took their case for more pandemic relief to Congress, asking a House panel to quickly approve tax credits to retain workers and update equipment before they are forced out of business during the economic downturn.

Study Sees Fiscal Risks in Plan for New Florida Toll Roads
A "Monte Carlo" feasibility study of Florida's proposal to build three major toll roads concludes that the plan is financially risky and that there's little data demonstrating a need for them. The 330 miles of new roads will run through highly environmentally sensitive areas of the state and run the risk of encouraging sprawl, says the Sept. 16 multi-part study by Cornell Consulting.

Tennessee Awards $55M in Relief to Agriculture and Forestry Businesses
