Council of the District of Columbia Chairman Phil Mendelson is proposing tax increases on businesses and homeowners to counteract Muriel Bowser's budget cuts.

Mendelson’s plan increases property taxes on homes worth more than $2.5 million, increases the tax businesses must pay toward the Paid Family Leave program, and reinstates the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund.the early education funding, which costs the city $70 million annually, as part of her push to cut $500 million from city programs.

She added, “If natural revenue growth does not provide the revenue needed to satisfy must-fund obligations next year, let alone keep up with the unsustainable cost growth of new initiatives the Council has raised taxes to finance, then we will be left with no choice but to initiate another round of reductions in next year’s formulation.”
