Obama library costs now surpass $1 billion

But yea, Democrats know how to lower costs or osmething.

Former President Barack Obama’s (D) presidential center in Chicago, Illinois, is reportedly projected to cost much, much more than originally planned.

The foundation overseeing construction of the project that opened several years behind schedule told Fox News the price tag has been hiked to $1 billion, the outlet reported Thursday.

The report said the news came “as newly released financial records reviewed by Fox News Digital offer a fresh look at the finances of the Obama Foundation, the former president’s private nonprofit that oversaw construction of the billion-dollar project.”

The center’s construction has reportedly cost taxpayers more and more money. In March it put out a call for unpaid volunteers, yet was paying CEO Valerie Jarrett a $740,000 salary, according to Breitbart News.
