The individual states receive large sums of money from the federal government for a variety of purposes. Professor Julia Mahoney considers whether terms or “strings” attached to the federal money amount to coercion for a state to act in certain ways advocated by the national government. Although the states can, in theory, decline to take the money most states would not risk the loss of revenue even if they feel strongly about controversial issues.
Professor Julia Mahoney is the John S. Battle Professor of Law and Class of 1963 Research Professor in Honor of Graham C. Lilly and Peter W. Low at the University of Virginia School of Law. Professor Mahoney teaches courses in property, government finance, constitutional law, and nonprofit organizations.
