Congress should reject state bailouts

OCTOBER 15, 2020 | by Pete Ricketts | THE HILL

Op-ed by Pete Ricketts (state governor of Nebraska), includes “… What is our secret in fiscally responsible states like Nebraska that help us avoid this federal dependency? We don’t spend money we don’t have. … It’s time for Congress to draw a line in the sand for states and to send a message that states should take responsibility for getting spending under control and managing their affairs. They should not reward years of mismanagement unrelated to the pandemic with a D.C. bailout, while making states like Nebraska foot the bill.”
