The summer slam thing was because the government gave covid money out to the states to spend on events that attract tourism so NJ spent $7 milly on summer slam because in theory it would generate tourism tax revenue and people would spend money on local businesses because they would be in town for summerslam and they had to use the money or the feds would take it back.
I'd assume the texas small in situation is similar
