Here's an idea for a tight budget year! Generate revenue for schools while helping our city and the environment. @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @DCPSChancellor @BrianneKNadeau @charlesallen @CMCharlesAllen @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @CMCHenderson @DoniCrawford

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #NoWarNoWarming

Thank you to @ChmnMendelson for elevating student voice in the District with a dedicated hearing AFTER school hours and the councilmembers showing up to listen to the needs of our young people!

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.

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.
