There are about 31,000 civilian federal workers living on Long Island. Many will for the first time learn their shutdown-employment status Wednesday at their workplaces.
In a memo to federal agency heads Tuesday night, Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, writes “employees should report to work for their next regularly scheduled tour of duty to undertake orderly shutdown activities.”
Labor Day weekend travel forecast NewsdayTV's Ken Buffa spoke with Robert Sinclair Jr., senior manager of public affairs for AAA Northeast, about some of the best and worst times to travel during the holiday weekend.
