US EditionKansas governor joins lawsuit against Trump administration for federal funding losses
KANSAS, AUG 4 – Governor Laura Kelly joined 22 states in challenging federal cuts that have harmed agriculture, health, and safety programs, citing billions in terminated funds under disputed regulations.
- Kansas Governor Laura Kelly became part of a coalition of 22 states and the District of Columbia filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration for cutting federal funds vital to various state programs.
- The lawsuit, initially filed in Massachusetts in June and amended with Kelly's inclusion on July 31, challenges a regulation used to cut billions in funding after awards were made.
- The administration invoked the regulation to cut off millions of dollars in funding designated for Kansas farmers, disaster relief efforts, and early childhood education programs without providing states with prior notice or an explanation.
- Kelly stated that she became involved in the lawsuit representing Kansas to protect vital funding that supports essential state programs from being arbitrarily withdrawn, calling the decisions behind the cuts illogical.
- The states and D.C. seek a court ruling that the regulation cannot justify funding termination based on post-award priorities and want the administration’s decision vacated.
