Final Touches

Now you will choose the top three priorities you believe Governor should consider when passing a relief bill. Keep in mind that each decision you make will have unique consequences. Your budget is limited by the state’s constitutional requirement of a balanced budget, so you cannot select everything; be mindful that some choices may not cost money to implement, but may result in reduced revenue, making a net cost. More restrictive measures will have greater effects on the pandemic, but also worse negative impacts on the economy, and your approval rating. Less restrictive measures will be less likely to sink the economy (and your reelection), but are also less effective at saving lives.
