Shapiro Sues Trump Administration Over Blocked Pennsylvania Funding
Governor Josh Shapiro is suing the Trump administration for withholding over $2 billion in congressionally approved federal funding for Pennsylvania. This funding, crucial for water safety, utility assistance, and environmental cleanup, has been blocked despite court orders. The lawsuit alleges that the federal government’s actions violate the Constitution by unilaterally suspending allocated funds and imposing new conditions. These funds are vital for numerous projects, including abandoned mine reclamation and utility bill assistance for thousands of households, and their delay poses significant risks to public safety and infrastructure.
