    $1.4 billion to remodel three high schools. Pretty good for government work.

    ‘Cost-saving’ school redesign hasn’t saved any money

    The final price tag remains virtually unchanged.

    Hopes are vanishing that significant savings can be realized from the three major high school modernization projects set to begin next year in Portland, according to a new set of cost estimates presented to school board members Tuesday.

    I know one Portland school had a large amount of Terrazzo in it. Pretty pricey

    When I started schools and hospitals were VCT and rubber base

    Were I used to work they put Terrazzo in the lobby. Took over a year because it was obvious that the contractor had never installed it and it was a disaster had to tear it out a couple of times then when finally finished if it got the slightest bit of water (like it never rains in Portland) and it super slick, like walking on wet ice and they had to buff it rough which took off the shine but stopped almost daily falls and injury claims for broken wrists etc. I think several people with the contractor and the building manager got fired.

    Seems pretty authoritarian. Seems like this Jew Hater should have had some sort of hearing.

    Judge Rules That Terror-Agitator and Hypothetical Future Cancer-Curer Mahmoud Khalil, Get This, Lied on His Immigration Forms; Orders Deportation

    —Ace

    He lied on his immigration forms?

    No way, said Ilhan "Omar" Nur and her brother/husband.

    Former Columbia graduate student and anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil will be deported to Syria or Algeria after a new ruling from an immigration judge in Louisiana found he purposefully committed fraud on a green card application, newly filed court documents revealed.

    Immigration Judge Jamee Comans rejected three motions filed by Khalil's lawyers on Sept. 12 -- including one in which he sought approval for a waiver to remedy factual omissions on a green card application, which Comans ruled to be intentionally fraudulent.

    Khalil neglected to disclose his involvement, association and participation with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) and Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) on his Form I-485, Comans ruled.

    "The evidence shows the Respondent knew of the potential immigration consequences for his involvement in protests organized by varying organizations on campus, including CUAD," the judge wrote in a ruling shared by Khalil's lawyers.

    "The waiver was not designed to reward a lack of candor by applicants admitted as immigrant visa holders who then intentionally engage in dishonesty by misrepresenting facts in the application process to adjust status, post entry," Comans stated plainly in the ruling.

    Comans noted that several factors were considered when determining whether Khalil qualified for a waiver to remedy his factual inaccuracies on his residency application -- including the fact that he is married and has a young child who was born in April while he was in federal custody.

    However, those factors were outweighed by the overt, purposeful omissions and by the Secretary of State deeming his presence in the United States to have "potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences," the ruling stated.

    The judge also noted a negative factor in the 30-year-old's appeal is that he owns no property or business and has never held a job while living in the United States, according to the ruling.

    Oh, the jihadist princeling has never actually done a productive day of work in his life, but spends all of his hours sipping tea, spreading conspiracy theories about Jews, and inciting people to commit terrorism?

    I'm so surprised.

    Is that the way you cure cancer? By sitting in cafes all day pontificating about the Koran and extremist barbaric Middle Eastern grudge-politics?

    Doesn't seem so to me. I never even see him wearing a nerd-smock while he extols the terror murders of Hamas. At least pick up a beaker, guy.
