"Mayor Bowser's Battle to Keep Sports Teams in D.C.: Success or Failure?"

D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser's efforts to retain the Washington Capitals and Wizards have come under scrutiny as the teams' owner announced plans to move them to Northern Virginia. Bowser made a $500 million offer to keep the teams in downtown D.C., but it appears to have been too late. Critics question whether Bowser acted with enough urgency as Virginia's efforts to woo the teams ramped up. The departure of the teams would have a significant economic impact on the District and complicate Bowser's goal of revitalizing downtown. Bowser plans to forge ahead with a task force to rethink economic development in the area.
