Sen. Martha McSally: Next coronavirus relief package should not be a 'cash cow' for mismanaged cities

Sen. Martha McSally won’t commit to backing additional financial support for state and local governments during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying taxpayers should not bail them out for years of mismanagement.
During a recent virtual town hall hosted by the mayor of Surprise, McSally, R-Ariz., reiterated her call for increased flexibility in how funds can be used, but made clear she sees big, blue-state cities as trying to fleece red states.
“I’m just going to be frank with you guys, OK,” she said in an hourlong videotaped event. “This is not the time for states and cities — unlike Arizona, unlike Surprise — who have mismanaged their budgets over the course of many decades, for them to use this as an opportunity to see you, as a taxpayer in Arizona, as a cash cow for them in whatever city you want to talk about, whether it’s Chicago or New York or whatever."
McSally said some officials want to use the pandemic as their opportunity "to bail out states and cities that have nothing to do with coronavirus" but are financially struggling because failed budgeting and debt.
"This is not the time for us in Arizona and you in Surprise to be paying for mismanagement in Chicago," McSally said. "That’s what, actually, the left is advocating for right now. What we’re advocating for is we provide specific relief.”
