Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, left, listens to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., as Senate Democrats gather outside the Capitol to urge Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other House Republicans, to break the impasse on a funding bill and stop the government shutdown that is now in its second week, Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2013, in Washington. With so many furloughed federal workers living in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs outside Washington, senators from those states made special pleas. From left to right are Mayor Vincent Gray, Sen.

The Senate plan to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling would grant the District of Columbia budget authority through Sept. 2014.

Although the plan funds the federal government through Jan. 15, the bill would allow the D.C. government to spend its own money for much longer, according to the Washington Post. 

The District raises $6 billion in local funds for city operations, according to the Post, but is subject to Congressional appropriations under the city’s home rule charter.
