The text of the CR was released yesterday. “While I will not weigh in on the merits of the proposed CR itself, I am pleased it includes the longstanding provision allowing D.C. to spend its own local funds at current fiscal year 2026 levels,” Norton said. “This is a significant improvement over the previous CR, which, in a radical departure from decades of congressional practice, blocked D.C. from using $1 billion of its locally approved budget and forced the District to revert to 2024 spending levels midway through the year. "This harmful cut underscored, yet again, why D.C. needs statehood.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |
