Thank you to all NADO members who contacted their House members and asked them to sign the EDA “Dear Colleague” letter circulated by Rep. Mike Michaud (D-ME) on April 1. In total, 42 Representatives signed the EDA support letter to House Leadership. Rep. Michaud also led the effort during debate on HR 1, the House FY2011 spending bill, with an amendment to restore a proposed $80 million cut to EDA’s FY2011 budget. Please remember to send a thank you letter to your Representatives if they signed the letter!
