Budgets and bills, oh my.
Here's our roundup of this week's must-read posts.
It's budget season, folks. Read our overview of Mayor Muriel Bowser's new budget proposal for the next fiscal year, specifically as it relates to DC's affordable housing and transportation goals.
In Maryland, officials have budgeted plenty for rail improvement plans over the years. A bill package proposal could provide mechanisms to make those plans reality.
In other Maryland legislative news, a number of bills are moving through the legislature that would offer stronger protections for renters. Mike English argues they should pass.
Finally, meet Kai, GGWash's spring Engagement Intern, and learn more about the next internship opportunity.
