In a letter dated Friday, March 16, ASBO International joined more than 900 national, state and local groups in urging House and Senate Appropriations Committees to provide the largest possible FY 2013 302(b) allocation to the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee; to protect health, education, job training, and social services programs from further cuts; and to work with their colleagues to prevent the harmful cuts that will occur to these programs under sequestration.
