[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never voted for her.  It was always apparent she wasn't a true leader and was just coasting on the success of her predecessors.

That success has run out, and look where we are in very short order.  She is a corrupt failure. [/quote]
The success has run out? That’s laughable when she stopped Monumental from going to Virginia and will likely get the Commanders to come back to DC as well.  [/quote]

Who was it? Bowser or Lucas? It seems everyone is quick to take credit.[/quote]

Bowser was the one at the podium with the shirt on, and was relentless over the past few weeks in her efforts. So I give her more credit. Lucas was busy x-ing or tweeting—but yes she deserves credit too since her opposition kept the DC window open. [/quote]

The hell are you talking about? This deal would be done and dusted if it weren’t for Lucas. She single-handedly stopped it and deserves ALL of the credit.

Leonsis only came back to DC when he realized he had no other option. He even made a last ditch effort to take the teams to Maryland before he finally gave up.

And despite have no bargaining power whatsoever, [b]he managed to secure millions more in funding from DC taxpayers than he would have gotten had Bowser been better organized and gotten the deal done last year.[/b][/quote]

Well Mayor bowser was desperate to not repeat the mistakes of Sharon Pratt Kelly in the 90s when DC was at its nadir. Downtown’s Woodies and Garfinkel’s department stores closed with world-class shopping moving out to the suburbs. The Redskins left town for MD after failing to secure an Alexandria deal. DC was the world’s murder capital (per capita stat).

So yes, she needed to offer all that money in addition to the many other perks.[/quote]
