The Erosion of Accountability in Government Projects The recent Supreme Court decision allowing President Donald Trump to continue construction of his White House ballroom is a stark reminder of the increasing impunity of those in power.
The court's majority opinion dismisses the National Trust for Historic Preservation's lawsuit, implying that mere "offense" or "distaste" at the prospect of this lavish project shouldn't be enough to grant standing.
This decision speaks to a broader pattern of disregard for accountability and transparency in government.
