Sign at Reflecting Pool Takes Aim at 'Previous Administrations'
The sign blames "years of neglect by previous administrations," in the latest Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool update.
A sign at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., appears to criticize past administrations while detailing ongoing maintenance work. The National Park Service placed the notice, which reads like it came from official letterhead, informing visitors that the pool has been partially refilled for the first time in over a decade.
The notice highlights that more than half of the 58 water supply ports were clogged and deemed nonfunctional due to years of neglect by previous administrations. The flushing process may cause temporary discoloration as years of buildup is removed from the system. Local resident Suzanne Garwood shared her picture of the sign and expressed frustration with the restoration efforts, comparing them to recent controversies involving other D.C. landmarks.
