Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Nebraska and South Carolina sued the Biden administration today over its mandate to increase the minimum wage for federal contractors to $15 an hour.
The coalition said the act violates the Procurement Act and the Spending Clause of the U.S. Constitution. In a statement, the states note that the Senate rejected a proposal akin to Biden's order before he signed it.
