D.C. Mayor’s Budget Plan Triggers Council Debate on Possible Income Tax Increase
(Washington Post) — D.C. Council members debated a possible income tax increase Tuesday as a stream of advocates for low-income residents, small-business owners, labor leaders and others lamented the proposed cuts in Mayor Adrian M. Fenty’s gap-closing budget plan. At the all-day hearing, some council members and advocates called Fenty’s spending plan shortsighted and unfair, setting a stage for likely measures that would squeeze more dollars out of the city’s wealthier households to help close an estimated $188 million budget deficit.
