in the 2023 fiscal year budget that the council is currently shaping — White said he would heavily invest new funds in job creation rather than an array of programs that he claimed are “just throwing a lot of money everywhere and not solving problems.”
He did not go into detail about the specifics of his plan, though he said the jobs guarantee would include both directing some residents to private-sector or nonprofit jobs and hiring others to work for the District inBowser and White both have described violent crime as a chief concern among voters and a top priority, but the two have diverged sharply in their approaches. Bowser says the city needs to hire more police officers.
“Unfortunately, the mayor’s only answer to crime has been more police. … More police is simply not a public safety plan,” he said Thursday. He said the jobs guarantee would be a centerpiece of his still-evolving approach to reducing crime. “There are so many people in our city right now who have nothing to lose,” he said. “People with careers are rarely committing serious crimes.”
