Mayor Muriel Bowser has delayed the announcement of her budget proposal for fiscal year 2026 until Congress addresses the funding gap for fiscal year 2025. A recent continuing resolution resulted in a substantial $1 billion cut to local funds for D.C., which city officials argue will harm essential services without saving federal funds.Bowser emphasized the need for clarity from Congress, stating that a balanced and certified budget cannot be submitted until legislative action is taken. The Senate has passed a bill to restore the funding, but it is awaiting a vote in the House of Representatives. Bowser has expressed optimism about the bill&#8217;s prospects following support from President Trump, who urged the House to expedite the funding fix. She remains committed to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">maintaining high service standards<\/a> for D.C. residents while navigating these financial challenges.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Bowser delays 2026 budget until Congress decides on 2025 rollback<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2074678\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Washington D.C.\">Washington, D.C.<\/a>, Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/muriel-bowser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Washington D.C.\">Muriel Bowser<\/a> is waiting until Congress resolves the fiscal 2025 funding gap for the district before she reveals her budget proposal for fiscal year 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In the continuing resolution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3348697\/senate-passes-dc-funding-fix-prevent-billion-funding-cut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">passed earlier this month<\/a> to avert a government shutdown, roughly $1 billion in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/finance\/3342111\/stopgap-funding-cut-dc-budget-1-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">local funds for D.C. were cut <\/a>for the remainder of fiscal year 2025.
