We know from our previous reporting that federal, civilian employment makes up a huge share of our local workforce. And as the shutdown drags on, many of them aren’t getting paid.

This affects not just local families, but sends ripple effects through our local economy.

Meanwhile, access to important government services is limited. Everything from Social Security to air travel, local tourism, and much more face possible restrictions.

If you are impacted by the shutdown, we would like to hear from you. Please fill out our survey below.
