President Trump, who has demonized government employees, has said he wants to \u201ctake over\u201d D.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Under a law that established \u201chome rule\u201d in Washington more than 50 years ago, Congress maintains power over the city, including final approval over its laws and annual budget. Historically, Congress has included routine language in its spending bills that approves the D.C. budget, about 75 percent of which is funded through local revenues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Republicans omitted the standard language from the temporary spending bill that is set to come to a vote in the House as early as Tuesday. That has thrust Washington\u2019s fate into the center of a political debate over funding the U.S. government. Democrats could seek to block the measure in the Senate, but with a Friday deadline looming to keep federal funding flowing, doing so could earn them blame for a government shutdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The bill would largely freeze federal spending at levels approved last year and, if passed as currently written, would also force D.C. to return to the lower spending levels in its budget approved by Congress in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That would result in a cut of $1.1 billion mandated halfway through the fiscal year. It would require the District to cut 16 percent of all remaining funds that have not already been spent, according to a memo from Mayor Muriel E. Bowser\u2019s office sent to lawmakers over the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At a news conference outside the Capitol on Monday, D.C. leaders urged Congress to revisit the temporary spending measure, saying that the effects of the freeze could be \u201cdevastating\u201d for the city, likely leading to layoffs in public safety and public schools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Given that the budget freeze would come six months into the city\u2019s fiscal year, the District would need to scramble within a matter of days to find a billion dollars in savings between now and the end of September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since much of that money was tied up in contracts, leases and Medicaid, all of which take time to be accessible, local officials warned that the most immediate target for the cuts would be the salaries of city workers, including police officers and teachers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s no way to cut that kind of money in the time that we would have in this fiscal year not to affect police or not to affect teachers and not to affect some of the basic government services that allow us to keep our city clean, safe and beautiful,\u201d said Ms. Bowser, a Democrat who explicitly appealed to the president\u2019s oft-spoken desire for a world-class capital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Bowser said she had been in touch with the White House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey\u2019ve indicated that it didn\u2019t come from them,\u201d she said of the omission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Local officials complained that it was unfair to extend the spending freeze Republicans have agreed to apply to the federal government to Washington, since most of the money in the city\u2019s budget comes from D.C. residents, not federal sources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s not really savings, because these are D.C. dollars,\u201d said Phil Mendelson, the chairman of the D.C. Council. \u201cMost folks, unfortunately, in this country think the District of Columbia is funded by the federal government. We are not.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Most of the District\u2019s funds are generated through local revenue. Another 24 percent comes through federal grants, while less than 1 percent comes from direct federal funds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">D.C. is required to submit a plan balancing its budget over five years, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/mayor.dc.gov\/release\/mayor-bowser-testifies-support-her-fiscal-year-2025-budget-fair-shot-strategic-investments\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ms. Bowser last April<\/a> <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/dc-md-va\/2024\/04\/03\/dc-budget-bowser-cuts-tax-hikes\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">had proposed about $500 million in cuts<\/a> to city programs, including the elimination of a program that gives stipends to child care workers and early education teachers. The D.C. Council reversed most of those cuts, including by restoring $70 million to the child care program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat who represents the District of Columbia as a delegate but has no vote in the House, on Monday proposed an amendment to the stopgap spending bill that would allow D.C. to proceed with its budget as planned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cD.C. has not been treated as a federal agency for funding purposes in more than 20 years, precisely because doing so can force dramatic overnight cuts to essential services, including police, sanitation and schools,\u201d Ms. Norton said. \u201cCuts to these services would work against Republicans\u2019 stated goal of improving public safety and order in D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But it seemed unlikely that Republicans would agree to adopt it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Republicans in Congress have increasingly sought to weigh in on D.C.\u2019s governance. Last year, the G.O.P.-controlled House <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/09\/us\/congress-washington-dc-laws.html\" title=\"\">voted by large margins<\/a> for two disapproval resolutions to overturn a pair of laws passed by the D.C. Council.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They have also used amendments on spending bills to ban the city\u2019s ability to tax and regulate the sale of cannabis and prohibit the spending of city funds on abortion services for Medicaid recipients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/10\/world\/europe\/spending-bill-government-shutdown-dc-budget-cuts.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stopgap spending bill that Republicans are pushing to avert a shutdown at the end of the week would effectively<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[3993,3996,884,3994,3995,1364],"class_list":["post-12170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-bowser","tag-eleanor-holmes","tag-federal-budget-us","tag-muriel-e","tag-norton","tag-washington-dc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>G.O.P.
