Cyberattacks on employers’ systems or on third parties with whom employers do business are in the rise across the country. Employers need to take a hard look at their current systems to avoid a data breach that affects their employees.

Both chambers of Congress are currently making plans to resurrect earmarks as part of the $1.4 trillion in discretionary spending approved every year. The House plan calls for the resurrection of earmarks in the form of “Community Project Funding.” The Senate has not yet announced its plan but both chambers are in negotiations to implement the earmark revival in a transparent and responsible way.

The Larkin Hoffman government relations team is ready to assist those interested in preparing proposals for program funding and to guide the projects through the entire process at the Capitol.
