Trump to Take Over Renovation of Penn Station
April 18, 2025 at 6:49 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“The head of the federal Department of Transportation said on Thursday that the Trump administration would take control of the $7 billion renovation of Pennsylvania Station away from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority,” the New York Times reports.

“The station, one of the busiest and also most maligned transit hubs in the world, has for decades been on the verge of a huge overhaul to remedy its cramped and dreary corridors. But the competing priorities of local, state and federal stakeholders have made progress difficult.”

there will be a massive amount of gilding distracting from a magnitude of poor planning and shoddy workmanship, and a large amount of the project money will go on a labyrinthine journey to finally end up in accounts controlled by Trump(s).

13. I see outright theft

slap on a coat or two of gold spray paint and change nothing else...declare victory, have a photo op in front of a "solid gold" wall and it's done! AND he'll have more money in his pocket, until he loses it in some stupid way!
