Fiscal cliff, pay cut...
If you followed the "fiscal cliff" news story, you'd already know that part of the agreement included a cut of the projected pay increase for law makers.
$ or procurement issues are not taken lightly by politicos. They have to do things a year to 2 years in advance. In a natural disaster like Super Storm Sandy or Katrina there are funds but that comes out of the FEMA/disaster $.
The poor economy & lack of $ is a burden to all US communities, big & small.
