D.C. Mayor-elect Vince Gray is proposing city workers be furloughed for four days to save $19.3 million, but he does not want to raise taxes.
Gray’s proposed budget fixes were delivered to council members early Tuesday morning.
He has also proposed that the council restore full funding to a program that puts healthy food in the schools and an adult job training program that were cut by Mayor Adrian Fenty’s budget-fix proposal.
Gray has also found $40 million to save against the next round of cuts expected for fiscal year 2012, which starts on Oct. 1.
Many of the deep cuts to social services remain. The council will vote on Gray’s proposals Tuesday.
