[quote=jsteele]No surprise here, I guess. The the contract for renovating the bathrooms that were non-functional this morning went to a Fenty crony:

[quote]Here's where things get tricky with the bathroom stalls. Instead of contracting directly with the Pennsylvania-based supplier of the school's "toilet partitions and compartments," Forrester and Department of General Services records show the $100,000 contract for that work instead went to another general contractor: Blue Skye Construction.

Blue Skye is a well-known local construction company that was very successful at landing city contracts when former Mayor Adrian Fenty was in office. In 2010, the city paid Blue Skye and a joint venture partner nearly $20 million directly for construction work. In 2009, Blue Skye and Donatelli Development were awarded the rights to development of the land next to the Minnesota Avenue Metro station. Blue Skye's president, Scottie Irving, was close to Fenty and cut an ad for his 2010 reelection campaign.[/quote]
