Because the only outlets reporting it are right wing sources, and therefore untrustworthy.

Wow look at all the "right wing sources" reporting the same thing:

USA Today

WSJ

Chicago Business

Unpaid contractors cloud Obama Center’s finish line

Of course you have not heard/read about it since the left wing sources you follow will not report it.

USA Today leans right. WSJ owned by Murdoch.

AllSides: Rates the publication as Center, although they note that many conservative readers and some of their own blind bias surveys perceive the outlet as Lean Left.

Good. All those supposed impartial outlets reported the issue is with the general contractor and the subs, and not with the Obama's themselves?

I found out today that I’ll be going there! Wifey says she wants to go, so it will happen. I like Chicago. Been to a Bears-Vikings game. Nice set of museums.

Deep dish pizza, here I come!

I liked Chicago. Went to Buddy Guy's joint. Thought it was cool that a musician of his stature just got on stage at a bar and played for an hour or two, then signed autograph's afterwards. This was years ago, though.

Reflectin pool: The best way to defeat the algae problem is to set up a system where the water is moved through and exposed to U/V light.

I have a backyard pond and waterfall feature that had an algae problem until I set up filtration and U/V light treatment.

Just sayin...the fat oaf using bleach and hydrogen peroxide is laughable, but then so is he.
