I hope the Public is watching as the Department of the Interior, Doug Burgum, and myself, are opening up many of the decades old, closed Fountains throughout the D.C. area. So far, over 20 have been revitalized, and fixed, looking better than the day they were built, many years ago. We have some left, some were in very bad and difficult condition, but we will get them all done in a short time. D.C. is being reawakened as to its Beauty, Elegance, and Charm. The “Granddaddy” of them all will be The Reflecting Pool — 2,500 feet long, and almost 200 feet wide, the biggest such structure ever built, but also, the most troublesome for many Administrations in that, from the time it was built in 1922, it essentially never really worked! It leaked from all angles, drew dirt, grime, and decay, was often filled with garbage, and wasn’t at all representative of the two Great Monuments it connects — The Lincoln Memorial, and The Washington Monument. But, very soon, before July 4th, it will be far better than it has ever been, even going back to as long ago as 1922 — Its Original Opening! The Biden and Obama Administrations spent over 100 Million Dollars, and made it far worse! It was only open for a short while, during each Administration, before the leaks and decay took over. I, together with Doug Burgum and the Department of Interior, am fixing it the right and proper way — It will last for many decades into the future. We’ve had rain delays, and have substantially increased our scope of work as to quality, durability, and even including the stone and granite on the outside of the water itself — A big job, much bigger than originally conceived, but it is being done, after over a Century of “stop and go’s,” correctly! You will see something very special at the Reflecting Pool in a short period of time. Stay tuned. In the meantime, watch as the Fountains open throughout D.C. Fountains go up, and Crime goes down! Also, watch for Lafayette Park, directly in front of the Main Entrance to the White House. I have made a major contribution toward it. The Fountains are now working, and look magnificent as the Park is being entirely rebuilt, using far better and more beautiful materials than originally used. As the Entrance to the White House, it’s got to be spectacular — There is no other way! Again, check out what’s going on at Lafayette Park.
