Taxpayers Are on the Hook for Another Half-Million in Reflecting Pool Costs, Even as Interior Struggles to Justify the Ballooning Price Tag

Taxpayers just got hit with another half-million-dollar bill for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, pushing the total cost of its renovation to a staggering $14.7 million. Federal records show the latest transaction, a $460,000 expense on June 15, came just weeks after the contract jumped from $13.1 million to $14.2 million, per The Hill. What that money was spent on remains unclear, and neither the White House nor the Interior Department has offered any explanation.
