Local news just reported that 530 student veterans attend UI and will not receive their checks.

55 research grants are being held because there is no one to process them. I'm glad to hear the direct effects of shutdown are being reported here. I hope more local newscasts are doing this elsewhere.

I'm very sorry for the students and vets being hurt in this - and I'm glad your community is reporting on it.
