A number of reporters have been calling our offices
interested in Community Action in general and CSBG in particular. They tell me
they want to do a story on the network and the programs. Some have suggested
stories specifically about our legislative fight last year. Reporters called
last year and I resisted because at the time I felt minimum visibility was the
best policy. But people continue to be curious about what went on with our
program and how a program – the only one singled out for cuts by the President in the State of the Union – managed to work its way through Congress and come
out virtually whole. I had real mixed emotions last year when I was contacted
and I still do. I have to admit I am disappointed with myself that I am not
able to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Not being sure how to respond to this situation irritates me. But I am still
weighing the possible negative consequences against the potential benefits.
