Laredo, Tex. (KGNS) – With the widespread confusion about the freezing already lowered, many think what will happen if it is restored in the future.
As for the County of Web and the city of Laredo, leaders are working forward for any changes that can come, depending on several funded by federal programs.
According to a web judge, web tano Thierina, “within the first hour I had received many phone calls in this first hour when the mandate came out. From what we know right now, nothing will be taken. I know everyone was concerned about the starting start, CAA and the feeding of wheels, but I think it was found that it would not be affected. ”
KGNS talks to Tijerina while the pause was discussed Wednesday morning, January 29th. He hopes vital programs will continue if the Trump administration will ever reduce federal funding.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Larendo, Dr. Victor Trevino, says that federal funding cuts would mean that many agencies are being excluded. Trevino posted a statement to KGN, entering the details, which reads:
“What would mean the removal of federal grants for Laredo is that the health department and other agencies could not be maintained. These agencies will need to be effectively closed, which would affect thousands of patients. This would also be a large -scale transvestite for over 200 Laredo Health employees, and in a medically undervalued community like ours, we will see less services for prevention and increased emergencies in our hospitals. “

Larendo Joe’s city manager explained that from public safety to approximately 70% of Larendo Public Health initiatives depends on federal dollars. Mention: “The character of what we did and we would do this at any time for the city of Laredo is that we were ready to cover the costs with some of our reserve funding to continue these services.”
He estimates that millions of federal dollars have been spent to maintain Laredo programs. The auxiliary executive director of Larendo’s housing management, Gustavo Rojo-Bundy, explained that their programs focus on providing housing.
“All our projects are funded federally. We have more than 6 amps and each of these properties is funded federal, “Rojo-Buenia said.
Although it is not clear why the freezing happened, Laredo’s housing lawyer, Juan Cruz, believes that the pause was probably intended to ensure that the services did not go for undocumented immigrants.
Noting: “I think people can expect increased control of the new administration and especially housing agencies in the United States and, of course, this can delay the provision of services to individuals.”
Nevertheless, Cruz says Laredo will meet the requirements specified by the present administration. In addition, Neeb says that in the coming months they will probably be made on how the city is financed.
Mention: “We were in preliminary discussions on how we can make sure that we are protecting our community from any of the negative impacts that come from it. We are trying to analyze this. “
US Representative Henry Qualar will hold a meeting to increase with other selected employees in the region 28 to finance Federal Aid on Friday, January 31.
