The Illinois Department of Public Health Thursday announced that the Trump administration has cut $100 million in critical funding for local public health departments, and for HIV prevention and monitoring, chronic disease surveys, and more.
Funding for these programs was allocated by Congress and is also being stripped from three additional states – all led by Democratic governors.
In response to this Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul led attorneys general from California, Colorado and Minnesota in suing the Trump administration over the Office of Management and Budget’s directive to unlawfully cut more than $600 million in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grants.
