By Bill Hangley| The Philadelphia Hall Monitor Verified A few weeks ago, I asked myself a simple question: what would President Donald Trump’s proposed “funding freeze” mean for Philadelphia’s parks? Specifically, I wondered, would Trump’s “freeze” cancel the $2 million grant that the outgoing Biden Administrationpromised for Center City’s Rail Park?Would it cancel two other big new federal grants, for the Eakins Oval and the Schuylkill River Trail?
