West Chester (Febrero 13, 2025) — State Senator Carolyn Comitta today issued the following statement in support of Governor Shapiro’s announcement that he’s filing a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional freeze of federal funding:
“Many of our friends, neighbors, and community members rely on programs and services that are made possible by federal grant funding. From food programs to community health initiatives to keeping our water clean, they are essential to maintaining a strong quality of life here in Chester County and beyond.
Unfortunately, the chaotic and unconstitutional federal funding freeze orchestrated by the Trump administration has now put many of these programs into jeopardy.
While multiple federal judges ordered a halt to the funding freeze, many agencies and programs have been unable to regain access to the funds that are promised under the law.
I applaud Governor Shapiro as his administration pursues legal action against the funding freeze. Know that I will stand alongside him and do everything in my power to protect the vital services that you, your family, and our community depend on.”
