First the White House tours fell victim to the billions in spending cuts known as sequestration. Then it was extended hours at the National Archives. Now, as the Post reports, it’s access to the U.S. Capitol that has suffered:

The U.S. Capitol Police closed more than a dozen pedestrian entrances and vehicular-access points on the Hill because of government-wide spending cuts that took effect March 1.

All told, Capitol police have closed nine pedestrian entrances and four vehicle-access points, in addition to reducing hours for three other entryways at congressional offices, according to spokesman Shennell S. Antrobus.

As part of sequestration, the U.S. Capitol Police are being forced to cut between $18 and $22 million from their budget.
