California has initiated 37 lawsuits against the Trump administration, spending $5 million but recouping $33,600 for every dollar spent due to withheld funds. These funds, already legally allocated, are crucial for state services including education, health, and disaster recovery. Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta emphasizes the importance of these funds to maintain California's inclusive ethos and quality of life. Governor Gavin Newsom states that litigation is not merely about suing but about defending core values during challenging times.
For each dollar the state has spent in litigation with Trump, it has recouped $33,600 in funds that the federal government has tried to take away from the Golden State.
These aren't dollars Californians were wishing for... these are funds that have already been legally allotted to the state but which the Trump administration is attempting to stop for reasons petty, ideological or both.
We're demanding is that we get the funding that's already been legally approved and appropriated.
It's litigation not for the sake of suing, but to defend, to stand tall, to hold the line in terms of our values, the things we hold dear.
