The plan for distributing money directly to Missouri counties in the current version of the $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus relief bill is pretty simple – each gets $195.44 per person.
But for cities, instead of a formula based on population, Congress divvies up the money using the method for determining Community Development Block Grant allocations. That takes into account levels of unemployment, age of housing and other measures.
The 12 cities that qualify for direct grant allocations will receive amounts ranging from $6.9 million for O’Fallon in St. Charles County $77.69 per person to $423.2 million for St. Louis $1,408 per person.
And there’s money for every other incorporated place, from $924 for Cave, population 5, to $13.1 million for St. Charles.

Missouri counties are currently bearing the brunt of what it costs for housing and transporting state prisoners.
All counties in Missouri are required to ensure that its costs for detaining pre-trial offenders are paid for because the state s County Reimbursement Program has been underfunded for a number of years, said David Owen, communications specialist at Missouri Association of Counties.
Counties usually have to shift resources from other areas or reduce services to cover this cost, which impacts local residents who rely on services and local taxpayers.

State Rep. Peggy McGaugh, shown in this February 2020 photo before the COVID-19 pandemic began, is pushing to expand no-excuse absentee voting. The Carrolton Republican previously served as Carroll County s clerk.
State Rep. Peggy McGaugh is the latest guest on Politically Speaking, where the Carrollton Republican spoke with St. Louis Public Radio’s Jason Rosenbaum about what’s next for absentee voting in Missouri.
McGaugh also discussed her reaction to Gov. Mike Parson’s State of the State speech, including the impending expansion of Medicaid.
Here’s what McGaugh had to say during the show:
2021 may be the best year to make changes to the absentee ballot process, after scores of people voted early last year due to COVID-19 concerns. McGaugh has sponsored legislation in the past that would allow someone to vote in-person absentee without an excuse.
