They probably defend the extravagance by saying that it was mostly federal funds anyway, not state funds. And those funds were probably earmarked for this pork-barrel project.
I have no idea. Just guessing.

This is as bad as the federal courthouse in Chicago where judges demanded and got gold plated faucets, Italian marble, imported paneling, and a boat doc to Lake Michigan. Cost was well over $1 BILLION taxpayer dollars.

This is ass-hattery at its finest. These feckless moonbat LIBs need to be showed the door OUT! Disgusting! Probably 1/2 the students in LA can’t do anything at grade level except excel at either self-tattooing or burglary. Sheesh!
