U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) continued to fight on behalf of hardworking Iowa taxpayers today, calling out the Democrats’ nearly $2 trillion “COVID relief” package that includes a $350 billion bailout of states who have mismanaged their budgets and had more stringent lock downs.
Ernst noted that Iowa was able to maintain spending levels for the coming year and has full cash reserves.
