SS: Just more bribery and grift where a project that was quoted at 3 million is given to this company with a huge markup to 17 million! with no bidding.
Now the Senate Republicans also saying we will pay 400 million of taxpayer money on top of all the donations from sketchy companies like Lockheed and Palantir and this bribe to build Trump’s giant ballroom nobody asked for, that he built without seeking any approval to demolish a whole wing of the white house.

This is a propaganda level misleading article.
The increase was due to the expansion of scope of the project.
The original $3 million was just doing repairs to the Layfette Park fountain system. It then became a much broader rehabilitation project including landscaping and resotration.
It did not go back to bid under the Federal Acquisition Regulation exception because work was already started – so you wouldn’t go re-bid it. Also this contract already had the necessary security clearances and qualifications which can take months after re-bidding.
