Jim Martin Tables
The Jim Martin table is an homage to Jim Martin, a long-time director of federal relations at the National Governors Association and a big supporter of FFIS in its early days. He requested the table because he wanted to show changes in federal funding for major programs on one sheet of paper. We’re told he carried it wherever he went, including Washington, DC’s metro, where he was seen distributing it to anyone who was interested. Alas, Jim is gone but his eponymous table lives on.

Jim Martin Table: Congress Passes Final FY 2013 Appropriations
Jim Martin TableMarch 22, 2013
Summary
The Jim Martin Table has been updated to reflect the
final FY 2013 spending bill (H.R. 933) approved by Congress on March 21,
2013. The bill includes a combination of five new appropriations bills and a
continuing resolution for the remaining areas. It adheres to the discretionary
spending limits for FY 2013 ($1.043 trillion) adopted as part of the Budget
Control Act of 2011 (BCA; P.L. 112-25) and, as such, does not trigger the March
27, 2013 sequester. It does leave the March 1 sequester intact.
The package provides separate appropriations for
Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS), Defense, Homeland Security, and
Military Construction-Veterans Affairs. It includes across-the-board reductions
in each of these five divisions as follows: discretionary security programs
receive a 0.092% cut (including Homeland Security), nonsecurity discretionary
programs in the Agriculture and Military Construction-Veteran Affairs divisions
receive a 2.513% cut, and nonsecurity discretionary spending in the CJS
division receives a 1.877% cut. For the most part, the remaining programs areas
are funded at FY 2012 levels. The Jim Martin Table shows those figures
included in the bill for major grant programs as well as the final post-March 1
sequester funding levels.
Jim Martin Table: House Passes CR for Remainder of FY 2013
Jim Martin TableMarch 8, 2013
Summary
The Jim Martin Table has been updated to reflect the continuing resolution (CR) passed by the House on March 6, 2013, which would fund federal programs through the remainder of FY 2013. The House CR funds most discretionary programs at FY 2012 levels with a small across-the-board reduction. The across-the-board reductions (0.098% for nonsecurity programs and 0.109% for security programs) would bring total spending down to meet the FY 2013 discretionary funding caps included in the Budget Control Act (BCA). In addition, the House CR funds most mandatory programs at current-law levels. The House CR does not include any provision to reverse the March 1, 2013 sequester. These cuts are calculated by applying the percentage reductions (5.0% for nondefense discretionary programs and 5.1% for nondefense mandatory programs) to FY 2013 funding in place on March 1, 2013 (the first CR).
