Priorities, Priorities: In D.C., Yoga More Expensive, Beer More Available
How’s this for a city motto: Washington, D.C., where the yoga’s expensive and the beer is easy!
That might need a little work, but that’s the gist of the fiscal 2015 D.C. spending plan that is on a glide path now that the D.C. Council has over-ridden Mayor Vincent Gray’s veto of its $10.6 billion spending plan. That plan raised taxes on health club memberships and cut funding for a streetcar project, but contained language that allows D.C. burgeoning breweries to sell beer for on-site consumption, according to my Roll Call colleague Hannah Hess .
Get the message? Drink more beer, work out less! Right?
