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.

GOP Utah gov says trans kids should play sports; legislature says unfair to girls Wed. February 24, 2021 6:59 AM by Gerald Farinas Salt Lake City - Gov. Spencer Cox (R-Utah) said that transgender students must be able to participate in the sports they want to play. He disagrees with a legislative plan that would ban all transgender children from playing in public middle, high school, and college athletics.
House Bill 302 was created by fellow Republican legislators, led by sponsor state Rep. Kera Birkeland of Morgan, Utah, as a reaction to transgender girls playing on girls teams.
Birkeland argues that persons born biologically male are disadvantaging biological girls when in athletic competition.
