Grant Cuts Spark Outrage

The White House has told the Department of Transportation (DOT) to cancel over $943 million in grants, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to cut at least $602 million. It’s a move that won’t sit well with Democratic states.

Why the Cuts?

The Office of Management and Budget made the call, citing a desire to ditch what it calls ‘woke’ and green grants. The cuts are likely to spark a heated debate over the role of government in funding projects that prioritize the environment and social justice.
