MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin joins 19 other states in a lawsuit against the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary.
Attorney General Josh Kaul announced that the state will join the suit which aims to stop Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Trump administration from making cuts to HHS.
Kaul says that’s “…resulting in increased and unnecessary risk to people’s health and wellbeing.” Kaul also argues that the Trump administration can’t authorize the cuts, since Congress already approved the funding.
Kennedy eliminated 28 departments from the agency and decreased its workforce by 25% during a restructuring last month.
