How White Restaurant Owners and Right-Wing Groups Hijacked Federal Restaurant Aid | Eater
"A Milwaukee restaurant owned by Greg León that had planned to use roughly $285,000 in awarded funds to expand hours, enlarge the bar, upgrade ventilation, hire more staff, and give raises. Operating at about 50 percent capacity because of staffing shortages, the owner said the grant was essential to breaking a cycle of limited service and low revenue; an SBA notice on June 22 informed him that, because of court rulings affecting priority applicants, his approved grant would not be distributed absent additional congressional funding, a loss he says will ripple through local suppliers and tax revenues." - Gaby Del Valle
