Murkowski Releases Statement on Suspension of Federal Funding
Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) released the following statement on federal funding:
“Alaskans have understandably been reaching out to my office all day, asking for clarity about what OMB's memo ordering a pause in grants, loans, and other federal financial assistance means for them. At this point, we don’t have any more direction than what has been reported. My staff is actively tracking impacted projects and services in Alaska, and working to identify those that most urgently need to be brought to the administration's attention. Please pass along any information you can to my office directly about projects and services that are being affected, and thank you for your patience as we work alongside you to navigate next steps.”
On Tuesday afternoon, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released guidance and a Q&A that can be referenced for assistance as the situation evolves. Alaskans can contact Senator Murkowski’s office using this link to report additional concerns.
