More details to this question:
Major battle over "rural crescent" that has been voted by PW supervisors to go ahead (5-2 to approved the plan). A large segment of our HOA is unhappily with ruling and sent a letter out to entire HOA stating the are now seeking funds from all homeowners to launch another legal battle. Their objective is $254,000 for 2023 legal defense fund. Why should my HOA dues support an issue that has already been legally approved by PW county and is not directing supporting physical HOA land, or utilities?

Obviously you would want to vote these people off the HOA board at the next election, but until then they generally make these decisions for you. You should read your bylaws to see if expenditures of this magnitude are allowed without a general vote and/or if there is any mechanism for removing board members and electing new ones in the middle of their term without waiting for the next election.
