TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ORDERED TO RESTORE AMERICORPS FUNDING IN PA

The Trump Administration is being ordered to restore AmeriCorps funding in Pennsylvania.  A federal judge in Maryland issued a temporary court order blocking the termination of AmeriCorps grants yesterday in a lawsuit filed by Governor Josh Shapiro and 25 other states.  The governor’s office said the federal government revoked more than six-million-dollars owed to the commonwealth, much of which had already been approved for distribution.  Following the ruling, Shapiro said he will “continue to take action to ensure no Pennsylvania senior, veteran, or student is harmed by the federal government’s decision to go back on its word.”
