On Monday, the Legislative Advisory Committee of the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery talked about getting agencies like the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and the Business and Industry Association involved in helping to evaluate and distribute the more than $1.25 billion in CARES act funding received by the Granite State.

Frankly, after the recent dust-up between the governor’s office and the Legislature, this is a brilliant idea.

Organizations like the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation are used to dealing with the distribution of funds and the handling of hundreds or thousands of applications. They know the ins and outs of these sometimes long and complex precedes.

What is clear, is that action is needed on distributing these fund. Officials need to come to a concensus and get this all important money into the pockets of those who need it most.
