Governor Shapiro Files Lawsuit Against Trump Administration in Response to Federal Funding Freeze
(HARRISBURG, PA.) “The work Pennsylvania is doing to plug orphaned and abandoned wells across the Commonwealth using Congressionally authorized funds is critical for public health and safety, protecting clean air and clean water, raising property values and creating jobs in the oilfield services industry. Kudos to Gov. Shapiro for his action to support Pennsylvania jobs and to allow this and other federally funded time-sensitive work to continue."
