The House passed the stopgap measure Tues without including any provision allowing DC to spend its own locally generated money —as set out in its (Congressionally) approved FY2025 budget The bill, w/ this potential $1.1 billion cut to what DC can spend over the next 6 mos, goes to the Senate Thurs

The stopgap funding bill goes to the House Tues. If it passes it will hack $1 billion fr DC’s budget over the next *6 months*. It’s not federal savings— like most states, DC budget is DC money. Could mean cuts & firings @dcpolicedept.bsky.social @dcfireems.bsky.social & @dcpublicschools.bsky.social

Update: The House Rules Committee did not adopt a @eleanornorton.bsky.social amendment to exempt DC's budget from a funding bill that freezes federal agencies at FY2024 levels. DC is already operating in its FY2025 budget. The bill is expected to go to the House Tues. www.hillrag.com/2025/03/10/f...
