Schwartz floats commuter tax swap for higher federal aid
Washington Republican mayoral hopeful Carol Schwartz says she would trade dropping a commuter tax for a bigger federal payment to the District of Columbia. She urges regional lawmakers to press Congress, arguing the current $660 million federal payment is too low and could rise if suburbs lobbying efforts succeed. The plan comes as DC faces a $20 million budget gap and a $140 million cut ordered by Congress, with Schwartz seeking bipartisan backing amid opposition to commuter taxes from Hoyer and Moran.
