WASHINGTON – Twenty-one Republican governors and one Democrat are taking aim at a key component of President Joe Biden's COVID-19 relief bill, arguing that a proposed allocation of money "punishes" states that did not fully lock down businesses amid the pandemic.
The governors, led by South Carolina's Henry McMaster, issued a statement over the weekend that criticized what they called a "biased" formula used to decide how much money in direct aid each states receives. One Democrat, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, also supported the statement.
