 The launching of two new sports betting apps is on hold in D.C. until battles over the next budget gets settled between the mayor and the D.C. council. D.C.

In a letter obtained by Axios, Bowser writes that she cannot support a budget that needlessly increases property and income taxes. She instead suggested the council takes more time to find waste and cut more services to save money.
