Sam Rockwell, Kerry York-Myles, Avery Prine, and Leah Corey are the four people in the state budget office called the Federal Funds Implementation Team. Normally, they help state agencies and local governments apply for money from Washington. Today they are on the front lines of monitoring cuts in federal funds.
