Given the impact of economic realities on the political process, it does seem very unlikely to me that any governor went into this willingly sabotaging their state. They are aware that their chances of reelection hinge upon their perceived competence in the midst of this crisis. Perceived competence, in turn, is often linked to the financial prosperity of the constituency.
