The Congress leaves the city without passing the capital budget repair



The Congress left the city this week without passing legislation to prevent major budget discounts for Washington, as it faces a strong opposition from some conservatives.

While this procedure quickly went through the Senate last month, it was exposed to the Republican Party, even when President Trump publicly called for his approval.

While the lawmakers were preparing to leave the holiday on Thursday, the majority leader of the House of Representatives Steve S-La said that the draft law was placed on the back stove, as the Republican Party leadership worked in both involved to adopt a budget decision to stimulate the priorities of the comprehensive tax of the president.

“This is still a discussion, and we want to accomplish this as soon as possible,” he told The Hill. “We are holding talks with the capital, with the president and the Senate, so we will get there.”

But when asked whether the draft law should be sent to the Senate to agree to potential changes, Scalise said it was not sure.

The reservation comes at home, as Republican leaders face pressure from their right wing to connect potential cyclists and the requirements that the democratic boycott will need to spend its local dollars.

Capital officials began the warning of the threat of discounts, as Congress moved to pass the legislation last month to keep the federal government open and finance it until September.

Unlike previous Stopgap financing bills, the last of which was missing the language that allows DC to spend its local budget – which is mostly consisting of funds from domestic tax dollars, fees and fines – at already 2025 levels. The capital was granted what is known as “home rule” in the 1970s, but it is still approved by its budget by Congress.

Without that language in the draft law, the capital was treated as a federal agency and forced to return to spending levels in 2024, which city officials said they would be forced to reduce one billion dollars in the last half of the fiscal year.

The Senate approved a reform to prevent these cuts after a short period of Stopgap financing.

“This bill will be a mistake at home simply [continuing resolution] Susan Collins, Chairman of the Senate Credit Committee, said about the procedure at the time, that this prevents boycotting Colombia from spending its tax dollars as part of its budget, which Congress approved routinely.

Trump also called for the Republican Party’s home to “immediately” in obtaining the constant budget bill, even while intensifying efforts to exercise control over boycott affairs.

However, the spokesperson Mike Johnson (R-La) faced pressure from his right wing to delay the consideration of the bill because the conservatives have been associated with the requirements of the boycott. Some Republicans also questioned the intensity of the potential faces of the capital.

“We must agree on the budget decision before we face a problem like whether the capital should be able to spend this billion dollars on any crazy things they want to spend on,” said House Freedom andy Harris (R-MD) to The Hill last month.

“They need some time to reach a list of the requirements of what we should put on the capital,” Harris told governors, but he hit the area to spend “dollars in ways that we thought in the past was very fool.”

“There was a discussion about” regular restrictions on financing the capital on things like abortion “and whether it needs to be added to the bill.

He said at the time: “There is a discussion between people who know more than me about the law about whether we need to add a language to it or not. I will let that be sorted in the committee.” “But I am to restore money, but I am also on the restrictions imposed in its place.”

When asked about the potential changes in the draft law, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Supervision Committee, James Kumer (R-Ky), whose judicial committee on the capital, said on Wednesday that he was “only expected to hear from the leadership.”

He said: “The White House has indicated that they want to support it. I said we need to support it.

He said, “I don’t know if they have a kind of plan to seek on another invoice or what I have no idea,” while postponing it to Johnson and Scalise.

The leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez (DN.Y.) The Hill this week said that the draft law needs to “pass as it is in the form that came from the Senate to the House of Representatives.”

He said before leaving the house to a two -week vacation: “Donald Trump has ordered them to do so, and they usually fall traditionally, and we press Johnson.”

In a publication urging the house to pass this procedure, the mayor of the capital, Morel Boser (D) wrote on Thursday that Trump and Johnson “should behave” to avoid the potential cuts of one billion dollars.

“These are our local dollars – not a penny in federal savings. The cuts that affect the additional work of the capital police, firefighters, and programs for our children.” “The cuts that will also affect private national security events. The House of Representatives should not be disrupted until this bill is passed.”

A recent report from Axios also indicated that the boycott is planning to start implementing the discounts after the legislators went home. A familiar source told The Hill on Friday that the boycott “is preparing for all possibilities.”

Bowser’s office has warned that local public safety, education and basic services will be at risk if the cuts are made. The office also said, “The demobilization of immediate and unexpected workers from direct service workers” will become valid if the capital is forced to conduct such a reduction, in addition to “eliminating the residents of direct services and visitors.”

In a statement on Friday, Del Elianor Holmes Norton (DD.C.) called it “disappointment and violation that the House of Representatives continues to delay voting on the draft law that was passed in the Senate to allow DC to spend its local money at its local local levels.

“The members who oppose the DC budget repair bill have not been elected by the residents of the capital, and they are not aware of the needs of 700,000 people who live here, and they have no accountability in front of the region because the residents of the capital cannot vote for them outside his post,” and she continued, adding that the ongoing ordeal “only helps to highlight the need for the DC situation.”
