Sequestration’s impact on state and local government procurement explained

March 8, 2013 By ei2admin

Govpro has offered opinions and views on the impact of sequestration from  several officials, including AmyClaire Brusch, vice president in O’Neill and  Associates’ federal relations practice, and Mattea Kramer, director of research at the National  Priorities Project.

Here are the views on sequestration’s impact on government budgets from  Michael McGill, a partner, and Peter Dungan, an associate, at the  Washington-based Hogan  Lovells law firm.

Govpro: Will state and local governments be  affected by sequestration?



Michael McGill and Peter Dungan: Certainly. Unless averted again,  sequestration will mean automatic, across-the-board cuts in federal civilian and  military discretionary and mandatory funds starting soon after March 1. The most  unique aspect of sequestration under the Budget Control Act of 2011 is not the  magnitude of the spending cuts but the indiscriminate nature of them.

This so-called “meat cleaver” approach threatens funding under several major  programs that benefit the states, from education and child nutrition to  transportation infrastructure and public health to military readiness and law  enforcement. Very few programs are exempt from the automatic cuts (Medicaid and  food stamps are among them, while Medicare cuts cannot exceed 2 percent).
