Wondering how President Obama's budget affects your community, or rural areas as a whole? The Rural Policy Research Institute has distilled the budget into a brief report outlining various items with rural impact.
The report, "A Snapshot of the President's Budget FY 2010: What's in it for Rural America?" covers areas of economic development, broadband, health care, renewable energy, infrastructure, conservation and natural resources, and community development. It also includes an appendix listing cuts and reductions that impact rural communities and interests. (Read the report; read the full budget)
Note to readers: This is Jen Green's last post to The Rural Blog, unless the spirit moves her. She will spend the summer as a junior fellow at the Library of Congress, working on a bibliographic control and access project, collaborating on a database providing information about special collections across the library’s holdings. Jen is finishing her first year in the two-year master's degree program in library and information sciences at the University of Kentucky. She has a B.A. in Religion and Journalism from Campbellsville University, and a Master of Divinity from Duke Divinity School. Read more about her internship here. --Al Cross, IRJCI Director
