The Senate has unanimously restored $1.1 billion for DC local government that was eliminated. Of course the fact that the majority of Senators have home there and don't want to see their neighborhoods become hellholes probably didn't factor into their decision.

Too bad they don't feel the same about the rest of the country.

The Senate swiftly approved legislation late Friday that would allow the District of Columbia to keep its budget intact, rather than roll back to 2024, fixing a provision that had drawn protests from the mayor and residents warning it would require $1 billion in cuts to services.

The bill passed unanimously, without dissent, and now heads to the House. Lawmakers there are on recess, but expected to consider it when they return in late March.
