We know attendees may have been planning to participate specifically for discussion of the ongoing federal government shutdown. NACo prepared a primer and FAQ on the shutdown earlier this week, which you can find here. For any questions about the shutdown, feel free to contact Mark Ritacco (mritacco@naco.org) and Eryn Hurley (ehurley@naco.org). We look forward to seeing you at the next Inside Washington, scheduled for October 16.
