From Mayor Muriel Bowser:
“We thank Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins as well as Vice Chair Patty Murray, Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Senator Tim Kaine, Senator Chris Van Hollen, and Senator Mark Warner for advancing a measure to restore DC’s Fiscal Year 2025 approved budget. Senate approval today is a major first step as we continue working with the House of Representatives on final passage to ensure critical services provided in the Nation’s Capital, including our police officers, firefighters, teachers, medical services and hospital network, aren’t haphazardly cut in the middle of the fiscal year.
