Attorney General Phil Weiser filed a court brief along with 22 other attorneys general in support of two lawsuits brought by National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service that seek to block proposed funding cuts to their organizations and local affiliates.

“Public radio and television connect millions of people in Colorado and across the country to critical information they might not otherwise be able to access. Cuts to public broadcasting won’t just rob us of programming many of us cherish, they will create real danger by reducing our ability to get critical emergency notifications to the public, especially to people in rural and tribal communities. I am proud to stand with my fellow attorneys general to urge the courts to block yet another reckless, illegal action by the Trump administration.” – AG Weiser
