HUD awarded Maine $11.6 million in Community Development Block Grants, split across 62 subawards to small towns. The Town of Van Buren initially received $350,000 for public infrastructure. Then a contract amendment came through to "add funds" to the tune of one quintillion dollars. That's roughly 10,000 times global GDP, for a town of ~2,000 people. A quintillion here, a quintillion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
