Bowser getting $525K in taxpayer funded improvements to her Colonial Village home

[Anonymous]

Permits aren't were funding is reported. Look at the budget documents and invoices.

Watching people defend her on Twitter is certainly weird.

Unless someone has a personal stake in Bowser's administration at this point, I cannot understand support for her

I don't like Bowser, but if you're going to criticize a politician, you should focus on their track record, not on hit jobs like this where it's not clear that anything wrong has been done. This is just a stupid distraction.

Her track is terrible, only comparable to Marion Barry. Here is one example:

"The city's Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser has pursued an 'equitable' approach to tackling crime which some residents claim has ruined their quality of life."

She’s also instituted an “equitable” approach to fixing pedestrian and traffic safety problems. Say there’s an acute safety problem outside a local public school in Ward 3. No matter the severity and urgency of the problem, DDOT has to subject it to “equity” considerations and may not address it unless other wards come first. Thanks, Bowser.

With all these improvements, it sounds like Bowser is running for reelection.

Local journalism is important!

"Much of the work includes security upgrades to the two-story house. Documents filed with the Department of Buildings describe the replacement of a “security booth” on the property for the mayor’s Metropolitan Police Department detail, as well as the installation of a new fence behind the home and three “exterior light poles w/ integrated security cameras.” (Amusingly, some of the permits describe the project as the “renovation to MPD 4th District North Office, which may be technically accurate, but leaves out some important context.) The plans submitted to DOB also call for the widening of the home’s driveway, the replacement of a retaining wall that runs alongside it, and the installation of a new guardrail at the house’s “rear yard terrace.”"

If I were the mayor of DC, I would want these additional security upgrades. There are a lot of bonkers people out there who target elected officials, judges, etc.

You’re an idiot. She’s getting fixes to her driveway, retaining walls, and even roofs installed over outdoor areas to make them enclosed. She’s trying to wrap in major home improvements into ‘security upgrades’ to make it appear legit. It’s money laundering except taxpayer dollars for personal home improvements she should be paying 100% out of pocket for.

This is what bothers me. Zero issue with actual security repairs. But these are more than security, this is home maintenance and excessive.

As the late Mayor for Life Marion Barry used to say, to the victor belong the spoils. His disciple Bowser obviously agrees.

Stick her in a some wing in the White House. Biden won't notice

More like in a backwater office at HUD where they stick the political favor hires who no one wants.

Here's to hoping Trayon gives up some dirt on Bowser.

What’s happening with the FBI investigation of “Johnny Money” Falcicchio and the Bowser administration’s dealings with developers and “public private partnerships”?
