Cần một buổi biểu diễn từ thiện

They’re padding their G-strings.

The famed male stripping troupe Chippendales is lobbying to make sure they receive federal pandemic relief.

The iconic review, which is known for spicing up bachelorette parties across Las Vegas, has retained the high-powered law firm of Greenberg Traurig to lobby lawmakers on their behalf in DC

It’s the first time the group has ever retained federal lobbyists.

The last-minute lobbying push comes as Capitol Hill is considering a final round of pandemic relief (cứu trợ vì đại dịch). The House (hạ viện) passed a stimulus bill (dự luật kích cầu) earlier this month, but it faces a rockier road in the Senate (thượng viện) where there are concerns  (mối lo ngại) that additional spending could exacerbate (làm trầm trọng thêm) sky-high inflation (lạm phát).

The new legislation — if passed — would contain a significant chunk of cash for entertainment venues and Chippendales is one of several groups lobbying for a piece of the action.
