Aside from election news, there has been much media coverage regarding the term "sequestration" and the impending "fiscal cliff." In the secure member area on the FAMA and FEMSA websites, we have posted under the CFSI category an easy-to-follow summary titled Federal Budget Sequestration 101. Delivered in bullet points, charts and graphs, this briefing provides a clear explanation of the sequestration process and projected FY2013 budget cuts. This information is provided by the legislative director of the National Association of Counties.
Across-the-board cuts could substantially impact our members. We hope this information will prove useful regarding the potential outcomes of looming federal budget actions.
P.S. Congress goes back into session next week.
