A Chicago-based subcontractor is suing one of the firms involved in managing the construction of the Obama Presidential Center for $40 million, claiming racial discriminatory practices forced the firm to do extra work that left it at risk of bankruptcy, according to a lawsuit.
Robert McGee, the owner of II in One, which provided concrete and rebar services for the center starting in 2021, filed the lawsuit in federal court last month against New York-based Thornton Tomasetti, which oversees structural engineering and design services for the $830 million project.
McGee claims that Thornton Tomasetti changed standards and imposed new rules around rebar spacing and tolerance requirements that differed from the American Concrete Institute standards, which resulted in “excessively rigorous and unnecessary inspection” and massive overruns. more here
Imagine how long it would have taken to build the Hoover Dam, Empire State Building, etc with all of the current legal nonsense.
Obama deserves a Lego set. Nothing more.
They will never finish that library. And 0bama deserves every delay, lawsuit, and other entanglements he receives. He is nothing but a globalist/CIA willing bond servant.
Lesson: don’t take a contract for anything related to 0bummer. At best you lose money. At worst, you get an invitation to go paddleboarding on a lake.
Obummer needs a lethal Lego set, the kind that if you step on the sharp edges instantly kills you.
Anything surrounding Barry Soetoro is nothing but criminal.
why not build in the true home-country? kenya? or indonesia?
Overruns, the oldest trick in a hustler’s playbook.
promise to resume after all records are unsealed, resolution of ssn & birth certificate & fuddy murder
A porta potty base at 6’x6′ made of poured concrete shouldn’t be that hard.
Anything more is overkill.
One porta potty would fully depict his 8 years.
The biggest problem is finding room on the thing to place all the gender symbols those idiots recognize.
The main structure is a blistering eyesore. Architecture is dead. It offers nothing today for the eye, the mind, the soul. Concrete encrapsulations of smothering interior space and a brutal slap at the senses when encountered on the outside.
O-Dumbo was the one who forced the change away from neo-classical architecture for federal buildings. Just like the hideous portraits he commissioned demonstrate, he has no taste or style. He only wants attention, and the more absurd the visual is, the better it serves his purpose.
