The guests will discuss Brookings’ newly launched Center for Effective Public Management, the FixGov blog managed by Hudak, and other work being done by colleagues in the Governance Studies section of Brookings.

Other topics covered included challenges posed by sequestration and tight budgets, the relationship between Congress and the administration, and between the administration and executive branch agencies, and the administration’s response and handling of the Healthcare.gov rollout and implementation.

The guests also offered their outlook on 2014.
