Jacques Jiha states that the state is not providing enough support, with the city receiving less funding than expected.
- The city should receive a 50.50 share of funding but is getting much less.
- The expected $1.5 billion is not met, with the actual funding amounting to about $1.1 billion, around 29% of the costs.
- Federal government support is minimal, providing only about $147 million.
- The city ends up covering most of the costs due to the shortfall in expected state and federal support.

Do you think the state is doing enough?
Jacques Jiha

No.

We've made it clear that at a minimum, we should be getting at a minimum, 50.50 share because the assumption that the governor is using is to give us a tiered.
0:54:53
We're not even getting a tiered because our assumption of $1,500,000,000 was based receiving the 3rd of the course, but we're getting less than the 3rd.
0:55:01
So we're getting only $1,100,000,000, which is about like I believe that 29%, something like that of the cost.
0:55:09
So again, we are short right now.
0:55:12
We because the assumption was based on the fact on the assumption that the the federal government was gonna prove virus atthused to it.
0:55:21
We're not getting atthused from the federal government.
0:55:24
One getting very little from the federal government about like $147,000,000.
