“The defunding of some federal agencies and the possible movement of other agencies out of the D.C. area brings a serious threat of reduced revenue from displaced federal employees. This is a very real threat.”
He added, “I mean, the option that we would want to do is probably raise taxes to make up for lost revenues. The way we’re structured right now, the bulk of those taxes would land on residents, and we would have to walk a very fine line.”
