Mayor Muriel Bowser accepted an illegal campaign donation from D.C. slumlord giant Sanford Capital. And yesterday The Washington Postcame to the same conclusion City Paper did more than three weeks ago, which is that D.C. taxpayers are subsidizing a bad actor whose owner lives in a $2.9 million Bethesda home. Bowser, for her part, is giving the public and the press the silent treatment on the matter.
