Will Muriel Bowser protect federal jobs from leaving DC?

[Anonymous]

What will she do if there are no federal workers in DC after the new administration tries to gut federal workers and move agencies out? What then? Is she even aware of this??!

[Anonymous]

I'm sure she's aware. But she can't even handle things she has jurisdiction over so...

[Anonymous]

She has no influence over that.

Turn Dee Fee into one big illegal motocross race track.

No, she'll build more bike lanes to make sure private companies don't want to move to DC.

You understand the Mayor has absolutely zero power or leverage in this, right?

Isn’t this completely out of her control?

LOL. I love that More Bike Lanes is just somehow the answer to every problem in DC.

The better question is not what Bowswer would do but what the Council will do. And the answer is simple: increase taxes on the remaining tax base and ratchet those taxes up as more and more people leave.

It’s like asking what the Safeway cashier is going to do when the ceo fires him.

+1 What do you expect her to do OP? Show up in a Power Ranger suit and refuse to let the jobs be slashed in DC?

She's a nice lady who needs to take some DEI job with a developer and leave DC along with the federal employees.

Where are they going to move agencies to and how exactly does this save money? They are bragging about discontinuing agencies not moving them.

There is a lot of assumption here, none of us knows what's actually going to happen to DC if anything different at all.
