This is outrageous! The CFO is not an elected legislator. If the law still stands than so does the revenue it generates. He’s changing council passed policy based on his opinion about it, not reality.
Alex Koma@AlexKomaDC
No delays to tax filing...BUT he still won't count the roughly $600 million in revenue for the city's budget. Essentially he's saying the mere risk of litigation is enough reason to keep this money out of the revenue estimate. Can't imagine the council/mayor will be pleased.

We can and must do better- and this should include raising the pay of paraprofessionals who are essential to the success of our students.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

This. Any lawmaker telling advocates it's a "tight budget season" while advancing a "recoupling" effort that would simultaneously hurt our budget and set an incredibly dangerous precedent of bowing at the feet of illegal federal interference should think twice about this approach. @CMFrumin @chenderson @CMBrookePinto @AnitaBondsDC
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle
There's rumors that some D.C. lawmakers may want to try and recouple, effectively ending this dispute altogether. "That would be very unpopular with residents who are tired of seeing government officials acquiesce to federal bullying," says @ChmnMendelson.

I long for a DC government that cuts wasteful and ineffective programs.
Instead, they’re just going to slash health care for poor families again.
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle
Wayne Turnage, deputy mayor for health and human services, focuses on health programs like Medicaid and the Healthcare Alliance (for immigrants). He says that if D.C. walks back cuts started this year, it would cost $300 million a year.
