DC budget crisis /1 - DC is in the middle of its FY25 budget … which is $1 billion LARGER than its FY24 budget. If the House doesn’t go along with the Senate, DC will be forced to start reducing its budget to FY24 level. What accounts for the billion-dollar increase in FY25?

Roughly 18 out of 100 D.C. ninth-graders finish college within six years of graduating high school, an estimate shows. City leaders want to raise it to 80 percent. https://t.co/UPcPCyqTXe

(1) If you saw 12 @dcfireems units at 31st & M in Georgetown this afternoon you'll be relieved to learn it was just a false alarm. But you might be distressed to hear @OUC_DC created the false alarm & it took almost 7 minutes before dispatchers realized the mistake. (more)

If you've seen the persistent smoke moving to the east in Upper Northwest DC it's from auto(s) burning in the 3200 bl of Cathedral Avenue. @dcfireems running numerous smoke reports from it, including an unfounded report of a building fire at @WNCathedral. @PoPville #firefighters
