Only the Senate is in session this week, the House is “working
in their districts”. For most of the House members, this means that they are
working on their re-election campaigns. The Senate is only holding one hearing
this week that may be of interest to readers of this blog. It will be a
Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing
on the DHS budget on Tuesday. High-level conversation with the Secretary, don’t
expect much in the way of details, but I would expect mentions of
cybersecurity.
The Senate might get back to S
2012, the energy authorization bill, that has been held up over
disagreements on including funding for programs to help the city of Flint, MI
recover from its self-inflicted (or State inflicted, depending on how you look
at it) drinking water contamination issues. There have been continuing behind
the scenes negotiations on how to get passed this procedural impasse. We might
see progress this week.
