CHARLESTON — Three state Attorneys General, including West Virginia's Patrick Morrisey, are leading a 21-state coalition seeking immediate confirmation that the most recent COVID-19 stimulus bill does not strip states of their well-established authority to tax or not tax their citizens. The coalition’s March 16 letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen argues that, absent an interpretation by her department, the legislation almost certainly is an unconstitutional intrusion on state sovereignty. “Federal spending power has clear limitations,” Morrisey said. “Congress may not micromanage a state’s fiscal policies in violation of anti-commandeering principles nor coerce a state into forfeiting one of its core constitutional functions in exchange for a large check from the federal government.
