- 11/9 – E-UPDATE
Looking ahead to the final session of the 112th Congress - I’ve been writing about the impact of sequestration in my recent e-updates, which I also post here. One number worth repeating today: a potential $878 million cut to FEMA next year alone – with more cuts coming every year for ten years if sequestration goes into effect. The important work of FEMA is on display right now as workers are helping communities devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
