Garamendi Condemns Trump Admin’s Withholding of $160 Million in Highway Safety Funding for California
WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman John Garamendi (D-CA-08), a senior member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, released the following statement after President Donald Trump and Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the administration is withholding $160 million in life-saving funding for highway safety and law enforcement training in California:
"Trump and Secretary Duffy are blatantly stealing from California. This decision is yet another partisan attack on a blue state, driven by retribution for Californians exercising their constitutional rights in voting overwhelmingly against Trump's chaos.
"Trump and Secretary Duffy's announcement today is another dangerous political ploy. Slashing $160 million in funding for road maintenance and law enforcement will only make our roads more dangerous and put the lives of California drivers at risk."
