Impact of sequestration on federal agencies - The Washington Post
The government-wide spending cuts known as the sequester took effect on March 1, forcing $85 billion in budget reductions by the end of September. The federal workforce faces furloughs, hiring freezes, and reduced overtime. Agencies say the cuts will mean reduced government services. Initial effects include closing of contract airport towers and longer customs lines, but other reductions will materialize in coming months. Congress’s new short-term funding plan locks in the cuts while shifting some agencies’ funds to help ease the burden.
Update: In July, the Post surveyed 48 of the administration’s predictions across 14 federal agencies about the cuts' dire consequences.

Oil exec wants U.S. biofuel mandate reviewed as gas prices rise | Reuters
By Ayesha Rascoe
The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which calls for increasing amounts of biofuels to be blended into U.S. gasoline and diesel supplies, requires refiners to buy biofuel credits, or RINs, from renewable fuel producers to comply with the mandate.
Oil companies have complained about spiking RIN costs this year, as the nation nears a point where the law will require use of more ethanol than can physically be blended into the fuel supply at 10 percent per gallon. A broker said RIN prices hit a record of $1.29 on Monday.
"This has led to higher prices and substantial uncertainty in the gasoline market," Klesse said in his prepared testimony. "The RFS needs to be completely redone."

Roughly 200 people benefited from the Mobile Food Pantry.
