A state government hundreds of miles from a town shouldn't make the decisions for that town any more than the feds should.

Generally speaking, if a town is given money by a state government then it's not only reasonable that it comes with conditions but prudent and part of due diligence because the higher level of government is ultimately accountable for those funds. State lawmakers have to answer to constituents in their jurisdictions too. And yes, this can lead to petty and ideological turf wars, but I don't think that precludes attaching given conditions to funding.
