16. Construction permits

Tue Oct 21, 2025, 11:19 AM

Oct 21

Someone who works in the permit office for construction in DC should look into this and get the information on the permit and post it. I bet he didn't get permit to destroy East Wing, (which requires a permit) nor for the new construction. That takes many months. Did they check for asphalt, lead paint etc. Any workers who are working on this project should help get the information out to the public. How are they getting paid, who is paying them and are they union workers? Come on folks, let's get some information out there for us to read.
