Poll showing Bass leading Raman by double digits was bogus, company says
The bogus poll — which the company claimed was a social media experiment — also showed Bass picking up support from most voters who supported Spencer Pratt in the mayoral primary.

Wish I could say I was surprised by this but it actually explains a lot. wapo.st/3Ii8scG
As the Nationals currently operate, Alan Gottlieb — a longtime executive at Lerner Enterprises — serves as the COO of Lerner Sports Group. But according to current and former Nationals employees, Gottlieb doesn’t spend his entire workweek at Nationals Park because he also has responsibilities with the family’s real estate company, which is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. That can leave department heads with the Nationals wondering when and whether they will get Gottlieb’s time and attention on matters they think are important. It’s less than ideal.
