CT Sues Administration Over FEMA Funding

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong has joined 20 states in filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the termination of FEMA's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program. The state faces the loss of approximately $84 million in federal funding for local infrastructure projects designed to protect against flooding and storm surges. The lawsuit argues that the administration acted unlawfully in unilaterally shutting down the pre-disaster mitigation program, potentially leaving critical construction and resilience projects unfunded.
