“The Trump administration’s outrageous and unconstitutional decision to halt all federal grants and loans will disrupt education, health care and anti-poverty programs, housing assistance, disaster relief and many other critical supports,” says MECEP President and CEO Garrett Martin. “This freeze combined with pending tariffs will do nothing to help Mainers struggling with rising costs, and if anything would make matters worse. Make no mistake — these actions are only being made so Trump can give tax cuts to his billionaire donors. A coalition of state attorneys general is gearing up to fight this destructive decision, and we call on Maine to join them.”
