LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: The economy in D.C. has ‘yellow flashing signals.’ Will the council heed them? By Editor On Apr 6, 2019 Last updated Apr 7, 2019 32 Share APPEARING BEFORE the D.C. Council at the start of its consideration of Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s (D) proposed fiscal 2020 budget, the city’s independent chief financial officer, Jeffrey S. DeWitt, warned of “yellow flashing signals” in the economy. His comments about a slowdown in population, job and income growth would seemingly suggest the need for the District to slow down spending. Instead, the mayor’s budget grows spending faster than the economy. In its budget deliberations, the council must decide whether that is prudent. 2020 BudgetBudgetDC CouncilJeffrey DeWittKathy PattersonMuriel BowserOffice of the Chief Financial OfficerOffice of the DC Auditor 32 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
