Yesim Sayin is the Executive Director of the D.C. Policy Center, and told WAMU that D.C. is not out of the woods yet. “We are not projecting a revenue growth that’s greater than 2 percent over the next four years and there are still risks to the District’s economy.”
Tamika Smith, host of WAMU’s All Things Considered spoke with Sayin hours after the budget was released for analysis on the major spending cuts, the tax increases and what they say about the Mayor’s priorities.
