Obama's $800M Presidential Center Slapped With DEI Lawsuit

Barack Obama's long-delayed and aesthetically monstrous presidential center in Chicago could face even further delays after a local subcontractor filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against one of the firms managing construction on the project. The lawsuit, filed last month in federal court by the Chicago-based concrete and rebar firm II in One, accused Thornton Tomasetti, the New York-based company overseeing structural engineering and design on the Obama Presidential Center, of imposing "excessively rigorous and unnecessary" inspection standards and engaging in racial discrimination by singling out the black-owned firm for errors resulting in "extreme financial loss and reputational hardship."
