The Mayor responds this morning to an outrageous remark by the Hill Restaurant Group:
Not everyone is following @MayorBowser's restrictions on restaurants and bars. Hill Restaurant Group owns Hawk 'n' Dove, Lola's, Willie's Sports bar, among other establishments. From the District Industry Facebook group: pic.twitter.com/yJQg26wxOz

The Mayor:
We all have an obligation to do our part to contain the spread of this global pandemic and get to the business of recovery as soon as possible.
Until then, your compliance is required, and we will exercise the full force of our MPD, FEMS, DC Health and ABRA…

…and to stick with you until our city comes out on the other side of this pandemic. We’ll all get through this together.

Update:
The head of Hill Restaurant Group — who openly defied the new D.C restrictions — learned about Bowser’s tweets when I called. He says he’ll comply now by closing down half his establishments and laying off workers https://t.co/mr3zMNnlbg
