Congressman Harris Joins First Appropriations Hearing Of 113th Congress

It was revealed at the hearing that executive branch agencies that contract with the GPO have not done their due diligence to inform them of the effect of President Obama’s sequester. The GPO does $48 million in business with Maryland vendors, so informing those vendors of the impact of possible cuts would have allowed them to plan ahead. This lack of planning by executive branch agencies is troubling since the sequester has been law for a year and a half. To protect Maryland businesses and jobs, Congressman Harris will be following up with the GPO regarding this concern.

“It is troubling that executive branch agencies have not informed the Government Printing Office about how the sequester would be impacting them,” said Congressman Harris. “Taxpayer dollars and Maryland jobs are at stake. It is inexcusable that these agencies have not planned ahead.”

The lions share of Md.voters put OweBama & OweMalley where they are.I don't want to hear a sob story from THEM OR Andy Harris.
Md. voters go to the polls with one thing on their minds,"WHAT ARE THE DEMOCRATS GOING TO GIVE ME".
Now, the end of the line is FINALLY
HERE. HA!HA!
Just MAYBE, SOME of them will HAVE to go get a JOB. That's the most comforting thing I've seen in this spate of PARTY GOVERNMENT.
I encourage ANY OF YOU to tell myself or anyone else the merits of BLOCK VOTING and PAC's.
The party's OVER...NO MORE TO HANDOUT!!! AGAIN HA! HA! HA! NOW maybe you guys can figure out you've been LIED TO by YOUR PARTY.
