Most FDA workers to remain on the job

Roughly 55 percent of the Food and Drug Administration’s
personnel will dodge furloughs during the government shutdown,
according to the agency’s contingency plans.

That means the agency’s Oct. 31 target to propose
highly anticipated regulations for electronic cigarettes remains unchanged.

Wondering if the FDA will wait till Oct 31 (Halloween)
to announce their proposed regulations ??

Trick or Treat !!

Yet they close down the petition site....

White House petitions are "non-essential" ...
nothing more than concerns of "We the People"

Well, the headline is accurate. The headline could have also read: "Nearly half of all FDA personnel furlough during government shutdown" and be just as accurate.
