Francis Rose, Fed Gov Today, April 13, 2025
With the risk of a government shutdown temporarily averted, agencies across the federal government now face a different kind of challenge: navigating the constraints of a full-year continuing resolution (CR) that leaves little room for budget maneuvering. Though funding has been locked in through September 30, 2025, the CR limits agencies to prior-year funding levels and restricts their ability to pursue new initiatives. Tom Harker, former Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management and Comptroller, and Dave Mader, former Controller at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and current Director at the Partnership for Public Service, joined Francis Rose on Fed Gov Today to examine the implications.
