Beginning Oct. 1, D.C. residents should expect to pay more to, and get less from, the District government after the D.C. Council on Friday unanimously adopted its revised fiscal 2009 and 2010 budgets.

The council successfully balanced the $5.4 billion 2010 budget without eating into the city’s rainy day fund — a top priority for Chairman Vincent Gray, who argued Friday that “an approach of facing the problem head-on now was a more responsible tact.” The plan employs tax increases, job reductions and deep agency cuts to close a $666 million deficit over the two years.
