💨 Abstract

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser is grappling with a budget crisis in the District of Columbia, caused by a $1.1 billion hole created by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. The House eliminated a provision in a budget resolution, leaving the city in a dire financial situation. Bowser has implemented preliminary belt-tightening steps, including a spending freeze, and is planning for possible layoffs and furloughs.
