The Mobile County Commission voted Monday to give $1.5 million in federal COVID-19 funds to the District Attorney’s Office to help cut down a pandemic-induced case backlog.
The money comes from funds the county received from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. It comes on top of the money that the commission contributes annually to the DA’s budget, which this year is $3.4 million.by the Mobile City Council, although those funds did not come from COVID money.
Commissioner Connie Hudson said she believes it is appropriate to use COVID relief money since the pandemic is partly responsible for the case backup.
