Last year, we made a down payment on reinvesting within disenfranchised communities of color, and I believe the proposed LA City budget for the 2021-2022 Fiscal Year affords us the opportunity to continue on that promise.
During a recent Budget and Finance Committee meeting on Friday, May 14, we stood up for justice and equity and we are well on our way to deliver a City budget that will benefit and invest in communities that have for far too long been brushed aside in the process.

ELKINS Elkins City Council is developing a strategy plan about how to use the millions of dollars it is set to receive from the American Rescue Plan Act.
The plan, which was signed last month, will send $677 million to West Virginia’s municipal governments. The City of Elkins is set to receive around $2.9 million, which was determined based on census data collected by the federal government.
“I sent a memo to the council, mayor and administrative officers that outlined a proposal to consider the American Rescue Plan Act funds that the city is anticipated to receive,” City Clerk Jessica Sutton said during a presentation at this week’s Elkins City Council meeting. “What this memo lays out is a proposal to have some guidance and framework as we move forward in making decisions about the best use for this money.”
