ONTARIO
Kicking off night two of the City of Ontarioâs budget committee meetings was Mayor Riley Hill who provided the first comments of the night saying that the national $1.9 trillion COVID relief package passed by the U.S. House and Senate this week would be benefitting Oregon, specifically Ontario.
Hill said he had received a call from the office of Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and was informed that of the $1.9 trillion relief funds, $2.2 million of that amount would heading in Ontarioâs direction, he estimated that the city could be receiving approximately half of that amount within the next 120 days.
