Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The federal government is once again facing the potential of a shutdown as the current continuing resolution is set to expire at midnight Nov. 17. And while partisan politics drive the conversation around whether Congress will reach another short-term spending bill in time, it’s ultimately the American public and federal workers who will feel the impact if a stopgap measure isn’t passed.

Max Stier, president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, joins the Daily Scoop Podcast to discuss the latest on the potential shutdown, what a lapse in funding or even a CR does to innovation in government, and what you should know if you want to be a part of the solution.

The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
