Day Two: Councilmembers talk revenue, budget cuts

It’s Day Two of budget talks down at the John A. Wilson Building. As we mentioned yesterday, Chairman Gray has allowed the public to view the meetings via television and Internet. (If you were having problems with audio yesterday, we suggest viewing the meeting here.) We at DCFPI consider it must-see-TV, and we hope you will tune in and offer feedback to members about their proposals.

A recap of yesterday: Councilmembers discussed actions taken in committee markups. At the end, Chairman Gray previewed today’s agenda, which will include discussions of revenue (including the high-income earners’ tax) and a proposal to make across-the-board cuts by either 3 or 1 1/2 percent.

We will provide a thorough recap of Day Two tomorrow! Stay tuned–and tune in!
