less in revenue over the next 5 years. I'm sure the counties and states are in the same boat too. Everything I've read says that states, counties, and cities are going to be receiving far less tax revenue because of this situation and the bailouts from the government aren't going to cover anywhere near what they lost. It's pretty crazy to think that an overall decrease in revenue is an incentive for them. It's dumb to think that they are purposely doing this for any sort of reason beyond public health. This pandemic is going to cost them a ****-ton by the end of it.
