Opinion: Algae doesn't care about our party lines
President Donald Trump criticized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as 'filthy' and authorized a no-bid contract to resurface it, but after spending $14 million, the pool remains green due to algae. The Interior Department claims a new filtration system has been deployed, while a University of Virginia analysis found higher algae levels this year than in the past five.
