George Petel Discusses Implications of Proposed Federal Grant Rule with Bloomberg Law

George E. Petel, partner in the Government Contracts Practice, discussed the legal implications of the Trump Administration's proposed rule tightening access to federal grants with Bloomberg Law in the article, "Trump’s Bid to Remake Grant Process Stands to See Legal Hurdles." "The rub will be whether Congress clearly articulated how they want this money spent,” Petel said. “If an agency is spending the money as Congress intended, but it just happens to be going to fringe organizations, it’s still possible that a court would say, ‘That’s perfectly in line with what Congress intended; we’re not going to second-guess the agency’s deliberative process in making this decision.”
