Fenty Freezes D.C. Spending as City Targets $175 Million Budget Gap
(Washington Post) — D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty froze hiring and promotions in city government Monday and restricted discretionary spending within the agencies as he and the D.C. Council begin exploring ways to close a $175 million shortfall.
The order by Fenty (D), which comes three days after the start of fiscal 2011, also bans most employee travel and training and limits the amount of money available to agency leaders to buy supplies.
