OGM hires Cornerstone to map federal grant risks as administration changes
Summary
Murphy said OGM commissioned Cornerstone Government Affairs for a pre-election analysis and follow-up task orders to track possible shifts in federal grant priorities after an incoming administration; he said the landscape remains fluid but the county's preparedness is an asset.
Murphy told the committee OGM engaged Cornerstone Government Affairs to analyze potential federal funding changes and provide ongoing advice as the presidential administration changes. He described the contractor's work as "the first step of ongoing analysis" and said follow-up task orders will ask targeted questions from county departments worried about how shifts in Congress or executive priorities could affect grant eligibility and timing.
Murphy added the county's existing grant-readiness gives it an advantage in competing for federal funds regardless of near-term political changes, and the Cornerstone work will help OGM plan outreach and pre-position departments for likely opportunities. "It's still a moving target," Murphy said, noting continuing resolutions and the balance of power in Congress could alter outcomes.
