[quote=jsteele]Another day, another story about the Park Southern controversy and Muriel Bowser's role in it:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/bowser-addresses-park-southern-controversy-says-her-involvement-was-above-board/2014/07/18/982cc3ea-0df8-11e4-8341-b8072b1e7348_story.html

On Friday, Bowser was on Kojo Nnamdi's DC Politics Hour. As the Post says:

"She said repeatedly that her questions about the takeover of Park Southern had been answered by the administration during a closed-door meeting in early May."

"In fact, more than a week later, on May 19, Bowser’s office sent a letter to the Gray administration following up on her request for an explanation of the city’s 'legal power as a lender' to hire a new management company."

"And on June 3, Judah Gluckman, an aide to Bowser, sent an e-mail to a senior assistant attorney general, asking for a legal opinion 'demonstrating DHCD’s legal right to seize Park Southern documents and space, as well as to select a new management company.'"

So, Bowser claims that she was satisfied by the Administration's answers on the early May meeting. But, more than three weeks after the meeting she was still questioning the Administration's legal right to seize the building. It doesn't seem like Bowser has her story straight.
