Quiver AI Summary
Vasquez opposes OMB grant rule: Rep. Gabe Vasquez said he opposes a proposed Office of Management and Budget rule that he and other lawmakers say could change how more than $1 trillion in federal grants is distributed each year. He argued the proposal would increase political control over grantmaking.
Potential effects cited: The release says the rule could affect local governments, Tribes, universities, nonprofits, schools, health providers, small businesses, and researchers in New Mexico.
