Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul is looking into the challenges that are coming as a result of federal funding cuts for victim services.
The AG visited Eau Claire yesterday to hear from victim advocates and others who have been impacted by crime. Kaul says the Trump Administration has slashed funding related to Wisconsin’s Victims of Crime Act from 44-million dollars per year down to 13-million. A number of state programs have been reduced and staff members have been laid off because of the cutbacks, according to the attorney general.
