DENVER - Governor Polis released the following statement on the multi-state lawsuit filed against President Trump's funding freeze and the court's decision to issue a temporary restraining order to halt the freeze.

"This is an important step in protecting critical federal funding that supports Colorado's people, businesses and communities across the state. We are committed to delivering real results and improving affordability and quality of life for the people we serve, and this chaotic federal freeze would have devastating impacts. It's disappointing to see the Trump administration interfere with Congressionally appropriated dollars that are already committed to projects and that support people across Colorado and the United States. We are glad that the freeze on these dollars is temporarily blocked so that we will be available to continue to support these important programs and projects while the lawsuit moves forward and continue providing essential services to Coloradans. We appreciate the court's action and we look forward to continuing to pursue this in the hearing," said Governor Jared Polis.
