Slatery joins Kentucky AG in arguing that restrictions on aid money are unconstitutional Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery is suing the federal government, arguing that strings tied to the billions of dollars in relief money coming to the state via the American Rescue Plan are unconstitutional. Slatery, joined by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, argues that a provision in the COVID-19 stimulus bill that prohibits states from using the funds to lower taxes “unconstitutionally usurps the authority of each state’s legislature to enact beneficial tax policies.” “The states have a constitutional right to implement their own tax policy,” Slatery said in a release. “We should not have to choose between accepting COVID-19 relief funds or surrendering to Washington’s attempt to override what only our elected officials in Tennessee are authorized to do.”
