Mayor Fenty Delivers 11th Straight Balanced Budget
Today, Mayor Adrian M. Fenty submitted his proposed budget for FY 2008,
keeping his promise of no new taxes with the 11th consecutive balanced
budget for the District of Columbia.
Of significant note, the Fenty budget fully funds the Mayor’s school
plan, funds 300 new police officers for the Metropolitan Police Department
(MPD), and increases funds for programs that provide low-income heating
assistance, help for families in need, foster care programs, and senior
wellness centers, while at the same time reducing citywide residential
property taxes. |
