We passed a budget that restored the holes in the social safety net, but with one-time funds. That means next year we'll have an even bigger hole to fill. That's why I'm proposing a Wealth Proceeds Tax to generate revenue and make sure that the budget isn't balanced on the backs of those who can least afford it.
I want to use that recognition to highlight and thank Jubilee Housing for its incredible work in the community, and to showcase how we can make a difference in the success of affordable housing production when we all work together.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WASHINGTON, D.C.—Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau, D-Ward 1, will introduce a Wealth Proceeds Tax as permanent legislation to be considered in the fall. Nadeau, who has been pursuing the surtax on unearned income for high-income taxpayers, said Monday that she would pursue the tax as part of the expected September Council hearing on taxes and revenues.
this Committee worked to balance funds among these agencies and programs to ensure the most efficient use of taxpayer funds and protect core services for residents, including behind-the-scenes operational programs that make the rest of the work of government possible.
With this budget, the Facilities Committee has made investments in all eight wards, serving every population from our youngest to our most senior.
There’s a lot to unpack in the Mayor’s proposed budget for FY27, but the overall and very disturbing theme that comes across clearly is that she has gutted the social safety net while not asking anything of the District’s wealthy residents.
Council approved an amendment I introduced to sunset the law in two years. That means that the teen curfew law won’t continue past December 31, 2028. Not only does that limit the harm, it also forces District government to come up with real solutions sooner.
The teen curfew law up for a final vote in the D.C. Council on Tuesday would expire at the end of 2028, under a new amendment being proposed by Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau, D-Ward 1. A second amendment by Nadeau would prevent police from bringing teens detained solely for a curfew violation to a detention center.
