The Council of the District of Columbia decided to reverse an estimated $63 million in budget cuts this week, which were proposed in Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser‘s budget. She sought to address the $1.1 billion deficit forced onto the city by congressional spending cuts.

Bowser’s budget included major cuts to assistance for low-income families, libraries, domestic violence services, and job support programs for youth. With the scaled-back budget, Bowser wanted to offset the district’s sizable revenue loss.
