Matt Frumin says it would be temporary, because that's what you say when you plan to make it permanent. I dunno. Maybe DC could instead just cut spending?

| Apparently that's only the beginning. Nadeau wants a new tax on food deliveries, and also a new tax on people's investments. |

| Once Nadeau leaves office she be out of DC before the end of 2026. |

and they have to make severe cuts because the federal government is not letting the city spend a billion dollars of its own money. |

| I used to work for DC Government. There are soooo many places to cut that don't effect social services. |

Wait, are you saying we don't need 20 "Safe Passage" employees standing around outside a high school looking at their phones? |

| Why can’t they just cut spending like most households are doing? We don’t have anymore money to give! |
