State Sen. Kelda Roys spoke out against the Trump administration’s memo announcing the suspension of federal funds to state and local governments. Wisconsin joined 21 other states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit to prevent the administration from cutting off distribution of budgeted federal funds. A federal district judge ruled that the administration must wait before pausing federal spending on grants and loans. Gov. Tony Evers’ office stated that the funding freeze would jeopardize critical federal benefits and investments, affecting health and childcare services, public schools, and disaster relief. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul expressed concern about the uncertainty and confusion caused by the funding freeze. State and federal lawmakers are hearing from constituents worried about the impact on programs and services they rely on. Rep. Mark Pocan criticized the administration’s action as unconstitutional and a move to benefit Trump and his associates. There are concerns about the destabilizing effects of the funding suspension on families and the economy. Governor Evers sent a letter urging Trump to reverse the decision, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the law and considering the consequences for Wisconsin residents.
