A nonprofit is suing the Trump administration over its move to resurface and paint the reflecting pool on the National Mall. The group says there was no federal review of the plan, and the work is already underway. President Trump only revealed the plan last month. In a video the White House posted to YouTube, Trump said it would be completed in time for the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations in July at a cost of $1.5 million to $2 million. But the New York Times reported Monday that the project’s final cost could be upwards of $13 million after a no-bid contract was given to a firm Trump chose, according to documents the Times says it obtained.

But no money for things that directly benefit the constituents in day to day life??
Why can’t anyone stop this crazy stuff!
It's not a public swimming pool 🤬
This man never 👎 pays a bill….
The non profit group suing kinda reminds me of the nosey neighbor that reports you to the HOA.
A non profit that is mad they arent getting USAID money😂
Stop with the frivolous lawsuits!!
Non profit in hopes to profit 😊
13,000,000 to paint it or 13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ?
Man, people really dont like productivity. He skips the bureaucracy and spend less than others have in the past. TDS is real. Non profits are a scam, how much do they pay themselves?
Imagine that.
Anyone else wonder where a "non-profit" gets the money for this level of litigation? Improving our capitol should be a no brainer.......Obstructionists be damned.......media as well
That reflection pool has been in disrepair for a good number of years now. It's more about certain people's hate for President Trump.
That kind of money just to paint the bottom of this concrete square, Give me a Break DJT 🤦♀️💯🤣
Smh!!!
They are suing because their supporters are not getting a cut.
If it is a nonprofit the they need to shut up and look into the fraud running rampant across the country. That fraud is through those nonprofits and they aren't getting their cut of the "free" money.
Trump is a bum!
They should have showed a few pictures of how filthy it looked ….and explain why it must take longer
He's trying to find ways to steal our money...Congress is feckless
