True. But this is Alexandria City, home of the biggest HS in the entire state and an antiquated sewer system that dumps raw feces into the Potomac every time it rains. Yet these fools have cash to throws at brown people for selling hot dogs.

This is the DC area. There are any number of lawyers willing to take such a case for free because the program is so obviously unconstitutional and ridiculous it’s like it was designed with the purpose of having a court strike it down. You should instead be asking why the city would design such an obviously unconstitutional program that they knew they would not be able to implement? It’s all politics. They don’t care about kids selling hotdogs either.

You are right. Hard to believe that anyone would be that unintelligent to propose such a program thinking it would happen.

What concerns me more is that some people think this sort of policy is the right and legal way to run a government.

It's Alexandria. Does it really surprise you?

But how could the city attorney, Joanna Anderson, and the city manager James Parajon sign off on this program given the recent legal reversals for very similar federal programs? They look like absolute fools.

The answer is that Justin Wilson wants to run for Governor and is trying to make a name for himself.

I always thought it was the Congressional seat held by Beyer. Which is totally out of his reach now. I dearly wish he'd get elected to Congress and leave Alexandria alone but that seat will go to Gaskins or someone like her. He simply does not have enough points on the intersectionality scale and that is what will decide it in the future.

If he really thinks he can be elected Governor he's delusional. Run, Justin, Run!

Governor or Congress doesn’t matter as much as that this seems like an obvious ploy. I’m sure he was hoping to bait Youngkin and Miyares into a public confrontation. Doesn’t seem to have worked out that way for him though.

Correction... it's the People's Republic of Alexandria.

NP and that's for sure

My guess is that the program receives funding from a grant that was likely designated for minority business development and then the City decided they could add caveats or interrupt how they saw fit and went overboard.

Actually the DC area progressives believe you are allowed to be racist long as you dress it up in terms of equity. It's not surprising this was passed at all, I would be surprised if they even ran it by the city attorney.

Likely that will all be made public in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit will not get to discovery. The Plaintiff already has an injunction. If the city ends the program then there is no standing and as a result the court would dismiss the lawsuit.

+1

This was literal virtue signaling.

That and, as a PP wrote, likely a ploy to get some attention from Youngkin so Wilson and CC could feel important & relevant for five seconds.

Read the policy recommendations, not the headline.

Now the Alexandria Minority Business Association is weighing in. They are taking the plaintiff to task for accepting PPP loans. They fail to understand the nuance that PPP was available to all races, creeds, ethnicities and folks of every political persuasion.

That is so embarrassing for the Association. Imagine that being your best argument and you still decide to go public with it.

PPP loans weren't racist. In order to get this grant you have to be "BIPOC" which Alexandria defines as everyone except non-Hispanic white people.
