Seems to me it's the contractor's responsibility to make it right.

The reflecting pool is a mess.  Yes, Bob, there is some pollen there,

It's bad enough that this national treasure is in such a sorry state.
The worst part is that we -- the American taxpayers -- paid
$34,000,000.00 less than three years ago to rebuild the pool, change
the source of the water, and prevent the accumulation of algae and

Thanks, Ann, Bob and Alan.

The reflecting pool is a mess.  Yes, Bob, there is some pollen there,
but most of it is algae and pond scum/  The situation is disgraceful.

It's bad enough that this national treasure is in such a sorry state.
The worst part is that we -- the American taxpayers -- paid
$34,000,000.00 less than three years ago to rebuild the pool, change

Dan,
Flower is beautiful.  Tree pollen (?) covering the water is trash.
I parked outside this spring and had my car covered by it...some sort
of tree pollen I think.
Yuckie!
