OMB Watch is closely following renewed efforts to develop a "super-waiver" for states (see OMB Watcher story). Please help us by taking part in our Super-Waiver Poll.

OMB Watch is closely following a renewed effort by the President and some members of Congress to create over-broad "Super-Waivers" that would enable states to secure waivers of ANY requirement of ANY program in the Departments of Education, HHS, and Labor -- the approval of the Secretary of the overseeing Department would be sufficient.

OMB Watch is very concerned about the implications for students, low-income communities, worker safety and health, the environment, and many other important areas that fall under these three departments. (See related OMB Watcher story.) If you have thoughts about how it would affect you or the people you work with, please let us know. We are interested in examples of how this type of super-waiver might play out in your state.

Please help us in our efforts by taking part in our Super-Waiver Poll.
