Senior Australian lawmakers say they feared late last year they would become the first government to be tossed out after a single three-year term since the turmoil of the Great Depression in 1931.

House members from both parties praised the newest round of recovery funding.“I think we’ll never get enough money from the federal (government) or the state to make us whole by any stretch, and we think we all know that,” Democratic Rep. Eric Ager of Buncombe County said. “But this is going to make a big difference.”

Ager and others emphasized the $60 million included to initiate a leading priority for the governor — a state program providing direct grants to businesses that suffered economic losses from the storm and its aftermath.GOP lawmakers declined to provide such payments in the most recenteven while offering similar grants to farmers for agricultural losses from Helene and other weather emergencies.

House Speaker Destin Hall said GOP colleagues had been worried a business grant program that lacked controls would lead to funds for many companies that don’t need help, like what happened with COVID-19 pandemic business grants from the federal government.This initiative, however, requires applicants to show details of financial need, such as an economic loss of at least $25,000. The maximum grant allowed would be $75,000.

“If we have some standard that we can measure those things, our folks are much more comfortable with it,” Hall told reporters this week.

The package provides funds for other items that Stein sought, albeit at lower levels. There’s $12.5 million for parks, museum and library repairs; $33 million for public school repairs; and tens of millions of dollars to cover federal matching funds for local and state governments.“It felt like a pretty easy round, which honestly I haven’t felt that in a while,” she said. “To be able to have that out here feels really good. I hit a lot of greens — not a lot of fairways. But I felt like it didn’t matter that much to me today. I felt like I was swinging it pretty good. I had a pretty clear headspace.

“So I guess mentally and physically everything just lined up really well for me today.”It was a tough day for two of the more prominent Mexican players.
