• FMA Urges All Members of Congress to Avert a Government Shutdown - September 19, 2024

• Federal Managers Association (FMA) National President Craig Carter wrote all members of both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate today, urging them to fund the federal government for Fiscal Year 2025, prevent a lapse in appropriations, and avert a government shutdown.

  "FMA members are dedicated patriots who tirelessly serve their communities, fulfilling congressionally-mandated missions and goals, while administering invaluable services to all Americans. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees – who are taxpayers like their fellow citizens – do not know if they will be told to stay home and not get paid for the foreseeable future. This has tangible, negative effects on the employees, their families, and every American who relies on the services they provide," Carter wrote.

  Carter also lamented the overreliance on continuing resolutions, once again stressing the billions of taxpayer dollars that are wasted when a CR substitutes for traditional funding. FMA will continue to work with legislators on both sides of the aisle and the administration to fully fund Fiscal Year 2025.
