The Council of the District of Columbia unanimously passed a $21 billion budget for fiscal 2025 despite some back-and-forth with Mayor Muriel Bowser.
The budget includes tax increases and cuts to some critical city programs, although some were saved despite Bowser’s wish to have other programs cut. The $700 million budget gap the city faced was closed with this budget.
“We took a proposal and transformed it into one that is more sensitive to the needs of residents, especially those needing the safety net, and more sensitive to business attraction and retention,” Mendelson said. Council members were able to fund two of Bowser’s requests: a youth center on RFK Stadium grounds and the construction of a new jail.
