On May 28, 2025, Executive Director Yesim Sayin was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered discussing the potential impact of federal budget cuts on Washington D.C.
“Maybe we have solved a structural budget problem by some ugly arithmetic, but it’s going to lead to incredibly difficult decisions,” Sayin stated.
Sayin highlighted that Mayor Bowser’s budget plan includes significant reductions in school funding if the city’s revenue does not improve within two years. This could lead to intense political debates.
The implications of these proposed cuts are expected to be far-reaching, affecting various sectors in the nation’s capital.
