Keep in mind that the aid is intended to help governments and companies deal with COVID-related closures. If a county ignored the state closure orders, wouldn’t that mean (in theory) that it shouldn’t need the money?
That’s only a valid argument if every company within the county entirely operated within the county, and if the county never shut down; none of which is the case. Their violation, if I recall correctly, was opening a few days before the governor gave his approval.
Hardly something which would make up for the 13 million in aide.
And again, we roll back to the same argument used by sanctuary cities, their not abiding by every regulation and rule does not make them ineligible for federal assistance. Since the courts have certainly made enough rulings on that topic (not to mention national speed limits and smoking rules), there’s a large body of rulings which the county can claim that the governor is illegally withholding federal funds.
