Good morning, Washington. Temperatures rose over the weekend, as did the number of shootings. In addition to the three people who were shot in Southeast D.C. early Sunday morning (which now appears to have started when a young woman declined to give out her phone number), three other people were killed and six others injured in various incidents in nearby Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, as WJLA reports. Feels like the summer violence season has officially started early.

Will Metrobus Riders Be the Biggest Losers in WMATA Budget? The drawn-out WMATA budget process is still chugging along, and the Examiner’s Kytja Weir keeps filing those updates. This morning, she comes up with a good point: Metrobus riders may be getting the worst deal of anyone in terms of the balance between upcoming fare increases and service cuts. Cuts to rail service are looking like they’ll be just about $1.12 million, while bus cuts currently total about $4.3 million. Meanwhile, bus riders would see fare increases of at least 20 percent, while rail riders would see a 15 percent increase. See also this handy list of potential winners and losers in the budget as it currently exists.

Rhee Promises to Find Raise Money: On Friday, D.C. CFO Nat Gandhi told the D.C. Council that he could not certify the tentative agreement between the Washington Teachers’ Union and DCPS because the city is still $10.7 million short of fully funding it. Gandhi has said the private foundation money Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee managed to raise cannot be used pay for teacher raises because the money comes with unacceptable conditions — like that it could be yanked if Rhee leaves. For her part, Rhee says she’s pretty much already found the money, and has promised to work with Gandhi’s office more closely to make sure the deal gets approved in the end.
