13 States Sue Biden Regime, Demand Ability to Cut Taxes

  • Thirteen states sued President Joe Biden’s administration over an American Rescue Plan provision prohibiting states from cutting taxes after accepting coronavirus relief funds.
  • “Never before has the federal government attempted such a complete takeover of state finances,” West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said in a statement Wednesday. 
  • The lawsuit argued that the federal government is not allowed to force states to relinquish control of their taxing authority under the Tenth Amendment.

Thirteen states sued President Joe Biden’s administration over an American Rescue Plan provision prohibiting states from cutting taxes after accepting coronavirus relief funds.

The 13-state coalition argued that the provision included in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package preventing states from cutting taxes if they accept relief from the federal government is unconstitutional. The coalition, led by Republican West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday evening in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.

“Never before has the federal government attempted such a complete takeover of state finances,” Morrisey said in a Wednesday statement. “We cannot stand for such overreach.”
