#GAReads | Where are the women?
“Letter: Where are the women?”:
The North Dakota Emergency Commission is responsible for allocating the $1.25 billions dollars in CARE Act Funds the state received. These funds are intended to help families, workers, small businesses, and to preserve jobs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The governor and five other male elected officials make up the Emergency Commission.
Together, they alone are deciding for everyone how to allocate the federal dollars coming to the state through the CARES Act (and possible future funds).
One has to ask, where are the women?
