Short Link to this Quote:
Governor Jim Justice seems to be saying that being strictly financially responsible is less important right now than taking care of people during the current crisis. While wasting money should normally be avoided, he is suggesting that if spending a bit more than necessary helps provide relief or support to citizens, that should take priority over penny-pinching.
In other words, the human and social costs of not acting quickly and generously outweigh concerns about spending every dollar efficiently. The quote implies urgent action is needed even if it means not sweating the small financial details.
