Colorado Will Join Other States in a Lawsuit to Block the Freeze

DENVER - Governor Polis released a statement announcing Colorado will sign on to a multi-state lawsuit challenge to the Administration's freeze of federal funding:

"Governing is about delivering real results for the people we serve, not sowing chaos. This indefinite pause in Congressionally appropriated federal funding hurts children and hardworking families, jeopardizes American jobs and businesses, harms hospitals and safety net health providers, threatens road and bridge repairs, and impacts countless other programs. These federal investments help people and support good-paying jobs and our economy, and this sloppy action creates confusion that distracts from Americans' real challenges. Since day one I've been focused on saving Coloradans money, expanding education access, reducing health care costs, and improving affordability for everyone in our state. I'm always open to ideas from anyone about how we can make government more efficient and better deliver for fellow Coloradans. Still, chaotic actions like this do not make our country better off. We hope that this senseless action is reversed urgently before too much damage is done to people and businesses."
