I will say that after 6 years of the establishment of OAWP, I think it is clear to me that there are major shortcomings within the initial law that was passed.
From my perspective, the constraints on eligibility in the bill make it narrow, and it leaves people behind.
I was very disappointed to see in the president's budget a cut proposed to SBDCs, and I hope that Congress can work to maintain or increase funding for the work that you all do which is a lifeline.
