Government Work

(Tampa, Florida) According to U.S. District Judge James Moody Jr., the window frames in Sam M. Gibbons Federal Courthouse were installed backwards and they are being fixed at a cost of $20 million.

The General Services Administration, which supervised construction of the incorrectly installed window frames, reluctantly acknowledges "installation defects."

Interestingly, the Gibbons Courthouse also experienced problems in the construction of judges' benches. The benches were made too low and had to be raised six inches at a cost of $1 million.

Even though the construction errors cost the taxpayers over $20 million, it's logically presumed that no government worker was fired.
