Support for OPBAT
United States Ambassador to The Bahamas John Rood had "fruitful" discussions with Bahamian and US officials during his two-week trip to Washington to reinforce the importance of the US/Bahamas counter narcotics partnership, said the US Embassy.Ambassador Rood also discussed the US pre-clearance facility in Freeport, Grand Bahama and the common efforts by The Bahamas and the US to combat illegal migration.
The ambassador was in Miami for other meetings, but then flew out to Washington to deal with the pressing OPBAT issue, along with other areas of concern such as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, pre-clearance and FAA co-operation.
According to a statement released by the US Embassy, Ambassador Rood was able to share these fruitful discussions with Bahamian Ambassador to the US Joshua Sears, when he discussed the importance of the US maintaining the level of funding to support OBPAT.
Feds must review outsourcing
INDIANAPOLIS -- Federal reviews of documents and other factors will delay -- possibly for months -- the state's plan to outsource the application process for food stamps, Medicaid and other government safety-net programs.The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration originally hoped to turn over the application process to private vendors with the start of the new state fiscal year this month.
Instead, it will wait for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to approve the estimated $1 billion contract, or else it would risk the loss of USDA funding for some of the costs.
