西雅图市长凯蒂·威尔逊正考虑在城市各部门削减5%至10%的预算,因为预计2027年将出现1.4亿美元的赤字,到2029年可能会增加到3亿多美元,其驱动因素是税收下降、劳动力成本上升和大流行病时期的支出。 Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is considering 5% to 10% budget cuts across city departments due to a projected $140 million deficit in 2027, potentially rising to over $300 million by 2029, driven by declining tax revenues, rising labor costs, and pandemic-era spending. 虽然没有最终确定任何削减,官员也力求避免全面削减,但所有备选办法——包括方案取消——都正在审查之中。 While no cuts are finalized and officials aim to avoid across-the-board reductions, all options—including program eliminations—are under review. 威尔逊继续推动对富有居民和公司征收新税。 Wilson continues pushing for new taxes on wealthier residents and corporations. 2025年11月一致通过了该市的2026年预算,总额为89亿美元。 The city’s 2026 budget, totaling $8.9 billion, was approved unanimously in November 2025.
