lunch panel on the political situation

During lunch (at which I drank too much caffeine) there was a panel of policy folks on what's likely to happen in 2009. Things are looking good on the non-federal, non-LSC funding restrictions front for that year. Other hopeful signs are in agency regulations and implementation. Things are not looking good for comprehensive immigration reform.

TANF reauthorization will be up in 2010, and a lot good can occur there.

An attorney from North Carolina said we should all get behind a manifesto stating our opposition to poverty which would involve simultaneous press conferences in all 50 states. Folks were into that.
