    Does the money have to be actually spent, that is, out the door, by Dec. 31 or just authorized? There is a big difference. And as far as deadlines are concerned, a legislative staff member remarked to me, in effect, after the first batch of COVID money, “No one is too concerned about the spending deadlines. There is no way the Feds are going to be able to audit all this money.”

      Spent, not authorized and it was not nearly as easy as some would think as the expenditures have to pass the auditors tests.

      “Mom” is correct. Thus my “10,000 laptops” comment. Those are the kind of things a bureaucracy can order and get receipts for even if they are not delivered until a year from Tuesday. I am told by someone very close to me that something similar happened in Virginia Beach schools with the great recession money.

      The GA took precautions to make sure Northam got one last shot at it.
