gazette.com

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is urging the House of Representatives to restore full funding for the district government after it was excluded from a recent stopgap funding bill. The Senate passed a resolution that did not include this funding. Bowser emphasized that the estimated $1 billion in cuts for fiscal 2025 would not save federal funds, as they are local dollars. She expressed confidence that a resolution would be reached to avoid these cuts. The Senate has already passed a funding bill to address the issue, which now awaits action from the House. D.C. officials are preparing for both outcomes regarding the bill's passage.
