Mapps claimed Reimagine Oregon has failed for four years to get dollars out the door. But the executive director of the advocacy group, Justice Rajee, placed the blame on the Office of Civic & Community Life, which oversees the city’s cannabis tax fund. Rajee said the office had not been a “partner” in getting the money distributed—and said the past three years of city funds will go toward supporting small businesses and economic prosperity for the Black communities.

This is the problem with giving huge grants to untested agencies. It sounds like justice but it's really just setting people up to fail. From the article it looks like blame can fairly be spread to all involved. Let's move those dollars directly to businesses without the middle man.
