Executive Lamont McClure is asking Northampton County Council to approve a transfer of $2.5 million from CARES Act funding to the county's general fund. This is to reimburse the county for $621,485.10 in hazard pay for county workers at the jail, Juvenile Justice Center and in Human Sources. Gracedale workers were also paid hazard pay, but funding for that comes from a different source. The remaining $1,878,514.90 is to reimburse the county for IT expenses related to remote work and teleconferencing options, including a mobile broadcasting center.
If approved, this will leave the county with $2-3 million.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
