Trump Is Punishing Blue States by Defunding Their Infrastructure Projects
Trump is cancelling billions of dollars in federal funding for congressionally approved projects already underway.
The Trump administration has doubled down on a tactic of dubious legality, cancelling federal funding for already congressionally approved projects in blue cities and states.
- The administration pulled $4 billion from the California high speed rail project.
- It followed up a month later by withdrawing another $175 million from the project.
These cuts make it harder for the state to complete vital parts of the rail system, despite California voters approving tens of billions of funding through raising bond revenue.
Truthout is an indispensable resource for activists, movement leaders and workers everywhere.
