Good research to find this example.  And displays very parallel circumstances.  Thus raises GREAT questions. 

Here's some possible answers  For example saying: -- Golly gee drainage deserves grants and economic support--its so very important.   Followed by a comment:  of course drainage is important BUT continuing employment thru PPP that's expendable (????).  OMG  Turn our backs on those people, those employees --amounts to telling them in a NJ accent-- for-ged-da-bout-it

REALLY   How stark and over-the-top would that be ??????????

Forgive the hypothetical, the fictional dialogue -- just making the point.  Economic aid is helpful to OP, whether for drainage, or payroll protection.

Thanks again Tom for that reference, that example of the drainage grant application.

PS Seems that drainage grant application could become another victim of economic slowdown -- not yet a done deal
