GOVERNING has posted an article authored by staff writer Ryan Honeywell -- What the Federal Shutdown Means for State and Local Governments – on its website. GOVERNING staff writers Liz Farmer and J.B. Wogan contributed to this report.

The article introduces its analysis by noting that “State and local government budget experts say the first federal government shutdown in 17 years shouldn't be too disruptive to their operations in the short-term, but if it lasts more than a week, they could start to encounter serious challenges.”
