Portsmouth: Trump funding freeze could cost city $3 million and 'far beyond'
AI-assisted summary The Trump administration's effort to freeze federal loans and grants could cost the city of Portsmouth $3 million. At least five city staff members and a dozen teachers are directly funded by federal monies. A U.S. judge ruled that a funding freeze would be "potentially catastrophic" for organizations that rely on federal funding. PORTSMOUTH — The deputy city manager for finance and administration estimated an effort to freeze federal loans and grants could potentially cost the city $3 million. Nathan Lunney reported to the City Council to 'simply assess the immediate risk and be mindful of how this might impact programming offered by the city.' Lunney looked at how the effort by President Donald Trump's administration to freeze federal loans and grants could impact the city of Portsmouth. 'What I would tell you in a nutshell is that our quick count … was that the very immediate impact if this were real, and if it were lasting, and if this pause were to delay for a significant period, could be in the vicinity of $3 million,' Lunney told the council Monday night. He stated 'not less than five staff members and a dozen or more teachers on the school side are funded directly (by federal monies), and so there is an immediate impact if the next several weeks don't turn out in a positive way for us.' Impact could be far beyond $3 million In terms of federal monies potentially at risk, Lunney pointed to 'our Community Development Block grant (and) our ICAC, Internet Crimes Against Children programming (in the police department).' Lunney said 'all of these dollars, which are far beyond $3 million on an annual basis, could potentially be at risk. obviously depending on the actions in the nation's capital.' Lunney told the council city staff are continuing to monitor the situation. 'Potentially catastrophic,' judge says Lunney's comments came Monday night after a U.S. judge extended a pause on the Trump administration's plan to freeze the federal loans and grants. U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan in Washington wrote that a funding freeze outlined in a memo from the White House budget office last week would be "potentially catastrophic" for organizations that rely on the funding to carry out their missions and provide services to the public. Her ruling, issued at the request of several advocacy groups, meant the policy is now subject to two temporary restraining orders. More:US judge extends pause on Trump's plan to freeze federal grants, loans A federal judge in Rhode Island on Friday issued a similar order at the behest of Democratic attorneys general from 22 states and the District of Columbia. AliKhan had last week ordered a short, administrative pause preventing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) from moving forward with its policy while she considered whether to issue the longer temporary restraining order. OMB in its memo had said the funding freeze was necessary to ensure funding complied with Trump's executive orders on immigration, climate change, diversity and other issues. After first trying to clarify the funding pause, OMB then fully withdrew its memo last week. Portsmouth mayor weighs in Portsmouth Mayor Deaglan McEachern reminded the council Internet Crimes Against Children 'is the cops going after child pornography rings and predators.' He stated "the federal government (is) delivering money to communities that are trying to solve issues that affect our entire region. ... The truth is if we're going to solve some of the problems we have in our communities that are bigger than our borders, we're going to need some assistance from the federal government to be able to meet those challenges head on,' he said.
