Amounts paid to States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories, and eligible units of local government are based on population as provided in the CARES Act. The CARES Act directs Treasury to use U.S. Census Bureau data for the most recent year for which data is available. The amount of payments made to each State was reduced by the aggregate amount of payments that was disbursed to eligible local governments within such State that provided the required certifications to Treasury."

The orange Covid man himself said he would sign legislation to save the likes of AA as a clean Cares extension with left over funds. But Pelosi doesn’t want that.
While you are at it, why don’t you let them add into the bill to change the presidential election to the popular vote if you think everything should be based on population concentrations. I’m sure people out here in my flyover states want to live like NY and LA folks.
