Top officials in Bowser's administration disclosed in a June 16 email thread that the mayor wanted to requisition $3 million from the American Rescue Plan stimulus package for the city's "streetscapes & beautification" account for use toward the BLM Plaza project in the 2022 fiscal year, which runs October 2021 through September 2022.
"In the coming months, an additional $3 million investment will create a more cohesive public space around the monument by reconstructing nearby sidewalks, installing commemorative works, and adding new benches, lighting, signage, and street trees," Bowser said in the press release.
A prominent Boston-based BLM leader with ties to prominent Democratic lawmakers, Monica Cannon-Grant, has been the subject of a federal investigation since October for allegedly pilfering funds from her social justice charity, which she claimed raked in millions in 2020.
Cannon-Grant's husband was charged with mortgage fraud in October for claiming her charity as his personal property when applying for a mortgage in May. She said in a podcast last week that federal authorities "used him in order to investigate me."

Dirty. Corrupt. Ideological. Evil.
Mayor Bow Wow needs to be removed.
If Republicans should retake the congress, they should immediately revoke “home rule” for DC and retake control of the city.
Bowser is another POC blithering idiot.
They just want their cut for having the demonstrations over that black guy.....all to promote the race issues they want front and center.
She gets paid to ccreate race issues - now she wants her cut.
NYS’ governor and legislature make DC look like pikers when it comes to spending CoupFlu funds on stuff like this.
“streetscapes & beautification”

Funny way to say bribes and kickbacks.
Behind a paywall, so I'll tell you where the money came from. The American Rescue Plan, aka federal taxpayers.
10% for the Big Guy.
“reconstructing nearby sidewalks, installing commemorative works, and adding new benches, lighting, signage, and street trees”
What about first-aid stations for the inevitable muggings and maulings?
The new republican house and senate (if it happens) on day 1 needs to retrocede all inhabited areas of DC back to Maryland and shrink the federal area. Reclaim THEIR city and remove the lust for statehood . . . relieving the incompetents of authority.
BUILD
LARGE
MANSIONS!
But it’s those stimulus checks causing inflation!
BLM is unbelievably corrupt. There are millions of ill-gotten dollars that need to be investigated HARD and LONG. Perpetrators need lengthy prison sentences.
That wouldn’t do it.
I live in the Land of Peasant Living. Doing that would simply send her to the State House.
Frankly I’ve never seen the leftists so openly showing their greed and corruption - and they aren’t even blinking that we see it! BLM was created to funnel revenue to all the wrong people and places - there are certain individuals among our population that believe they’re entitiled to take what they want whenever they are put in a position to do so.
IN the BLM ordeal they were paid acitivsts (by the powers that be) to create all that we saw - black leaders come running when the revenue flows.
Take Bow Wow to the pound and have her put down. She’s nothing but a worthless savage mutt.
