OP here. Right, I know. That's what I mentioned in the my original post.

How come no one can give me an answer on this? What will Mayor Bowser do?

I know Mayor Gray avoided this in 2013 when the feds shut down by using surplus funds from the DC budget, but what will Mayor Bowser do? Will trash be picked up? Will the libraries be open?
