Then one month later, the Council announced an $80 million dollar budget shortfall for the City. In turn, the Mayor responded by stopping payment on animal-care grants, Healthy Tots programs, planning grants for school renovations, summer parks programs and the hiring of caseworkers to help get homeless families out of the city\u2019s shelter at the former D.C. General Hospital campus. It would also seem City officials are blaming our DC firefighters for working too much overtime and expecting to get paid for it. Amazing! >> http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/dc-politics\/dc-firefighters-47-million-overtime-bill-roils-city-budget\/2015\/01\/26\/7dca31ba-a572-11e4-a7c2-03d37af98440_story.html<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 6) Mega Pop-Ups Throughout the City<\/b><\/p>\n While being applauded for their suggestion to protect the R-4 neighborhoods from the pop-ups craze, the DC Office of Planning (OP) is offering a bi-polar change for all other districts in allowing a full two stories to be built on top of building rooftops without counting this additional habitable space towards height or density! >> http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/washington\/breaking_ground\/2014\/11\/height-act-tweak-proving-contentious-not.html<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 7) Demolition by Neglect in Anacostia <\/b><\/p>\n East of the River residents pleaded with planning officials to protect the historic buildings located at the front <\/span>steps of the Anacostia Historic district.
