Across Southern California, cities are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to help people get through the pandemic. Money is going to pay utility bills and rent, feed families, and help businesses keep the doors open. It's also backstopping stressed local government budgets in some places, and paying for coronavirus testing in others. Relief was supposed to come from California's allocation of federal CARES Act money. But the mayors of 60 cities are complaining that the way the money was divided meant their communities didn't receive a fair share. They've signed a protest letter, from the California Mayors Coalition to Governor Newsom, asking for a larger share of the money.
