This Note to the Coalitions explores components of the President’s FY2014 budget that touch on federal policy priorities of the NEMW region. These priorities are: 1) Keeping the Region’s Lights On (energy efficiency and assistance, and grid modernization); 2) Building the Region’s House of Bricks (pre-disaster planning and mitigation); 3) Moving the Region’s People and Goods Reliably and Efficiently (transportation infrastructure); 4) Growing Strong Communities and Economies in the Region (community development, manufacturing growth, and social security); 5) Securing the Region’s Clean Potable Water Supplies (drinking and waste water infrastructure, safe shale development, effective water quality monitoring); and 6) Maintaining the Region’s Great Waters for Future Generations (natural resource protection and restoration). The analysis concludes that the President’s FY2014 budget is a mixed bag for the region. It provides new support for energy efficiency and grid modernization, transportation infrastructure investment, innovations in technology and manufacturing, safe shale development, overall water quality monitoring, and certain Great Water restoration programs. On the downside, the President’s FY2014 budget reduces support for low income residents to meet home energy needs, does not seize the post-Sandy opportunity to advance state and local pre-disaster resiliency and mitigation plans, cuts funding for Community Development Block Grants, and reduces support for the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund. Lastly, the budget alters the formula for social security cost-of-living increases, which would disproportionately affect the senior-rich NEMW states.
