This is in addition to the $300 million in CARES funds released to local governments to pay for an array of services which could include rental assistance.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:19.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#121212">The governor ended the press conference by saying, "I just ask people to remember to be good neighbors. We’re all staying home more, and may be for some time to come. If you’re up late because you’re anxious, please remember the folks next door are probably trying to sleep, and that they’re probably anxious as well. A little courtesy among neighbors goes a long way."</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="350" style="width:262.5pt"><tr><td width="95" style="width:71.25pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><img border="0" width="95" height="131" style="width:.9895in;height:1.3645in" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span></p></td><td width="210" style="width:157.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Robert R Rowley</span></b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0e1735">Attorney & Counselor at Law</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><img border="0" width="12" height="12" style="width:.125in;height:.125in" id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.png@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <a href="tel:(509)%20252-5074" target="new"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:#7e8183">(509) 252-5074</span></a> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><img border="0" width="12" height="12" style="width:.125in;height:.125in" id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image003.png@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <a href="tel:(509)%20994-1143" target="new"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:#7e8183">(509) 994-1143</span></a><br></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><img border="0" width="12" height="12" style="width:.125in;height:.125in" id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image004.png@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <a href="fax:(509)%20928-3084" target="new"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:#7e8183">(509) 928-3084</span></a> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><img border="0" width="12" height="12" style="width:.125in;height:.125in" id="Picture_x0020_5" src="cid:image005.png@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <a href="http://www.rowleylegal.com/" target="new"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:#7e8183">rowleylegal.com</span></a><br></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><img border="0" width="12" height="10" style="width:.125in;height:.1041in" id="Picture_x0020_6" src="cid:image006.png@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <a href="mailto:rob@rowleylegal.com" target="new"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:#7e8183">rob@rowleylegal.com</span></a><br></span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0e1735">Helping You Protect What Matters Most</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br></span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/rowleylegal" target="new"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue;text-decoration:none"><img border="0" width="17" height="17" style="width:.177in;height:.177in" id="Picture_x0020_7" src="cid:image007.png@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span></a><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><a href="https://www.twitter.com/ROBERTRROWLEY" target="new"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue;text-decoration:none"><img border="0" width="17" height="17" style="width:.177in;height:.177in" id="Picture_x0020_8" src="cid:image008.png@01D66195.A6DED0D0"></span></a><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"></span></p></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Practice concentrated on business, real estate and general legal matters in Washington and Idaho. </span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">NOTICE: The contents of this message and any attachments may be protected by the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable protections.
