It's been on the news here that they missed the deadline for applying for it, even after being given a 30 day extension. The citizens there are rightfully losing their minds about this.

You don't see it on the national news, but there have been many arrests and recovery of stolen property in this matter.

I hope at least some of this money goes toward DAs and prosecution efforts. If you give all the money to police, much of it gets spent on cop toys.
