ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Wes Moore today released the following statement regarding the federal funding freeze announced by the Trump-Vance Administration:
"We are still evaluating what, exactly, this ideological freeze would mean for our state and our people in the long-run. But one thing is already clear: These irresponsible actions and conflicting directives from the White House have caused unnecessary confusion, fear amongst Marylanders, and instability in our economy.
"The Trump-Vance Administration is trying to hold back money that has already been approved by Congress. These actions could potentially cost jobs, raise prices, and stifle economic growth in Maryland. What’s more, these resources are intended for programs at places like Maryland schools, Maryland hospitals, and Maryland nonprofits – touching our first responders, seniors, and Marylanders from the Western Mountains to the Eastern Shore and everywhere in between."
"This is not what responsible government looks like – it’s chaos."
