Sen. Mikulski Meets with Anne Arundel County Exec

The impact of the sequestration on Anne Arundel County is weighing heavily on the minds of government officials as well as residents. On Monday, Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD) met with Anne Arundel County Executive Laura Neuman in Annapolis.

Mikulski is the dean of the Maryland Congressional Delegation. Neuman said she is looking forward to working with Mikulski and that her “understanding of issues related to Fort Meade, NSA, the Naval Academy and Cyber Command is a crucial asset” to Anne Arundel County.

“We all need to work together as Team Maryland as we combat the devastating impacts of sequester, focus on creating jobs and remain committed to the day-to-day needs of Maryland families,” said Mikulski.

Also on Monday, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) met with businesses based in the Fort Meade area and throughout Anne Arundel County to discuss the impact of the sequestration on the local economy.
