Making Justice Real
The Official Blog of the Legal Aid Society of the District of ColumbiaDC Budget Vote Today
The District of Columbia Council will be voting today on the Fiscal Year 2011 budget. Many safety-net and social services programs are facing cuts and the prospect that the members will raise taxes is small. Local rental supplement, Interim Disability Assistance, adult education and a host of other programs will be underfunded. It is not too late to send a final email if you want to express your views. Contact information for Council Members is below.
