(Chicago, IL) — Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul is suing the Trump administration for cutting more than 600-million-dollars in Public Health grants. Raoul filed the lawsuit along with attorneys general from California, Colorado and Minnesota. The group claims the critical grant funding allows states to track disease outbreaks, maintain and improve their data systems, and collect basic public health data. These funding cuts would also force states to lay off hundreds of public health professionals. Cuts to Illinois’ public health programs alone could exceed 100-million-dollars.
