“I would certainly expect them to compete a project of this size & complexity,” said Anthony Costa, a former GSA official who oversaw complex government real estate projects during a career that spanned four presidential admins.
The estimated #EastWing construction cost has tripled since last July, when the project was first announced, with [at least] half expected to come from #taxpayers, WaPo previously reported.#Trump #law #ballroom #TaxPayersMoney #GovernmentWaste #oversight

Competitive bidding is generally required at most federal agencies. Experts said the Executive Residence is exempt from those rules, & the president has legal authority to hire companies of his choosing to make changes to the executive mansion & the surrounding grounds. Those experts said soliciting bids would have ensured the best price for #taxpayers, especially given the size & cost of the #EastWing project.

Michelle Obama on East Wing demolition: ‘I felt a loss for us as a nation’ – The Washington Post
The former first lady said her feelings stemmed from the country and its shared traditions, rather than a personal attachment to the building Trump knocked down to build a ballroom.

Former first lady Michelle Obama said she felt “a loss for us as a nation” when asked about President Donald Trump’s demolition of the East Wing for a massive new ballroom.
Obama, who was first lady during President Barack Obama’s two terms from 2009 to 2017, shared her response to the removal of the century-old annex in an episode of Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast Tuesday, saying her feelings stemmed from the country and its shared traditions, rather than a personal attachment to the space.
“I think in my body, I felt confusion because I’m like, who are we? What do we value? And who decides that?” Obama said. “That’s the thing that’s going through my head a lot lately. Who are we? What are the rules? Because I’m confused by what are our norms and our mores — not the laws — but how do we live together? That’s the part of it that hurts.”
“I think I felt a loss for us as a nation, but personally, you know … that’s not our house. That’s the people’s house,” she added.

Between October 20 and 23, crews tore down sections of the East Wing of the White House to make way for a $300 million ballroom planned by President Trump. (Video: The Washington Post)The East Wing has typically housed the first lady’s office and staff, and served as a hub for her public initiatives.
In October, Trump tore down the East Wing of the White House to make room for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom building he estimates will cost $300 million.
The project is one of several transformations the Trump administration has pursued within the White House complex. Since returning to office, he has paved the Rose Garden, erected a pair of 88-foot-tall flagpoles on the North and South lawns, covered the Lincoln Bathroom in marble and mused about potentially painting the Eisenhower Executive Office Building — saying the 137-year-old federal property “was always considered an ugly building.”
In podcast interviews and appearances this year, Obama has grown more vocal about her concerns over Trump’s second term, explaining her decision to skip Trump’s second inauguration in January, and warning that his immigration policies and approach to governing threaten the nation’s values and identity.
