Wisconsin is joining a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services over the termination of about eleven-billion dollars in public health grants nationwide.
Attorney General Josh Kaul is joining 22 other states in the suit. The lawsuit argues the grant terminations were sudden and disrupted state health agency operations. HHS says the grants were provided through COVID legislation, and are no longer necessary. Wisconsin could lose as much as 235-million dollars from the cancellations.
