Associated Press/Cedar Rapids Gazette: Iowa joined 12 other states Wednesday in suing President Joe Biden’s administration over a rule in the federal stimulus act that bars states from using relief money to offset tax cuts. The filing in U.S. District Court in Alabama asks judges to strike down a provision in the wide-ranging relief act signed by Biden that prohibits states from using $195 billion of federal aid “to either directly or indirectly offset a reduction” in net tax revenue. The restriction could apply through 2024.
