America's Voice News:Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed a lawsuit against the Treasury Department on Wednesday alleging that an amendment unlawfully limits states’ access to some of the $1.9 trillion aid package.Yost, a Republican, argued with Ohio’s lawyers that Congress “exceeded its constitutional authority” in adding the provision, referred to in the lawsuit as the “Tax Mandate,” because it is overly broad in prohibiting states from using funding to offset tax cuts or credits "directly or indirectly."The provision targets $350 billion of the massive spending package, money which was allocated specifically for state and local governments to use to pay for expenses stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, which Yost said has wreaked havoc on commerce across the country and resulted in “an immense” reduction in the revenues of many states, thus hurting state budgets.Source:https://buff.ly/38TKS1t
