Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Sept. 17 asking the federal government to send COVID-19 funding directly to California’s counties and bypass state authorities.

“Governor Newsom has specifically threatened to withhold Federal funds to ‘disobedient’ counties that develop their own safe reopening plans in response to local needs and local conditions,” Wagner wrote.
