[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump fired the entire boards of the planning commissions that were supposed to sign off on design changes to things like the White House, and you think the mayor of D.C. could have somehow stopped him from demolition entirely on the White House grounds? With what, a DCRA stop work order?[/quote]

+1  They chose a company to do the demo that had its asbestos abatement license revoked.  Do you think this is a White House that cares about any rules?

The administration’s decision to raze the East Wing before revealing replacement plans has shifted the focus beyond White House process to the contractors executing the work. What remains uncertain is not only what the “public’s house” will eventually look like, but whether any responsibility for project actions extends beyond the executive branch to firms performing them.

ACECO LLC, the East Wing Maryland demolition contractor, has faced the most immediate scrutiny. Multiple news outlets reported that public backlash following the demolition prompted the company to take its website offline. Lawmakers are also examining whether ACECO’s Washington, D.C., asbestos-abatement license, which was revoked in 2022 as reported by The Washington Post, could affect compliance.
