Federal government shutdown has little effect on Crane business

Scientia, in fact, is trying to finish a piece of software before an approaching deadline, McDaniel said. But the company did run into one shutdown-related hiccup.

Late last week, McDaniel attempted to email a defense security service representative with a question. He found out that representative had been furloughed.

The representative was back on the job this week, though. McDaniel spoke with him after the U.S. Department of Defense called many of its civilian employees to return to work.
