Colorado AG pleased as court blocks President Trump from cutting medical funding
“I’m pleased that the court agreed with us that the Trump administration’s orders freezing federal funds, which have caused chaos in Colorado and across the country, must be restored,” said Weiser on the ruling. “Unilateral cuts to everything from lifesaving health care to resources for firefighters would be devastating for our state, and I will continue to do everything in my power to stop these reckless, illegal acts. As evidenced by this ruling, the law is on our side.”
