Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) is heading to Las Vegas for an “economic mission” after enjoying the Masters golf tournament in Georgia on the taxpayer’s dime.

The mayor’s website announced Friday that Bowser would attend the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) in an effort to bring retailers to the nation’s capital.

“This economic mission is coordinated by the Washington, DC Economic Partnership (WDCEP), which has organized the District’s presence at ICSC since 1999,” the announcement continued:

She wants to bring retailers to Washington DC?

I heard Washington has a terrible problem with the shoplifting gangs. Is she fighting a losing battle?

Leaves with many empty suit cases.
Meets with Nevada SEIU leadership
Comes home with many heavy suitcases.

All in a week's work for a Dem operative

All public officials want to promote economic development in their cities and states.

But, there are strong headwinds against some of our major cities, for reasons they don’t want to discuss.

DC’s black/woke/Democrat cheat, Mayor Muriel Bowser, and the parasites in DC govt, will suck up molto tax dollars partying, dining, drinking and gambling in Las Vegas......under the cockeyed pretext of “govt business.”

But wait......this comes just weeks after the tax-scrounging black Democrat scum faced backlash for attending the lavish but sexist “Masters” golf tournament....... that fleeced taxpayers of $5,000 per black parasite.

“ But, there are strong headwinds against some of our major cities, for reasons they don’t want to discuss.”

There are parts of downtown DC that are still boarded up after the BLM riots, stores are closing due to theft, and there are parts of DC that burned down in the ‘68 riots that were never rebuilt, and a lot of the government employees just never came back to their offices after the COVID shutdown, causing other business failures.

She’s probably trying to get a casino (with their own security) to come to town.

Before widespread gambling casinos and online the name Las Vegas meant gambling but also prostitution.
“The city’s distinctive nickname of Sin City has its origin in the early 1900s when illicit activities, including gambling and prostitution, became prevalent.” NBC.

On the roast of Sammy Davis, Jr. comedian Foster Brooks said:
“Sammy, when you are booked to appear in Las Vegas a lot of people make a lot more income. And I want to say here those girls work hard and really deserve that.”

I recall the very low IQ NYC buffoon mayor went to Italy with the pretext to study how to fight crime. Outside of the ghetto dregs how can anyone in their right minds vote for these idiots?
