Washington Post: “The Trump administration does not plan to seek approval from Congress for President Donald Trump’s planned 250-foot arch, arguing that they do not need it because lawmakers a century ago authorized a somewhat similar project that was never built.”“Trump has targeted Memorial Circle — a traffic roundabout on Columbia Island, a man-made island tucked inside the edge of Washington — for his planned arch. Teams of workers conducting surveys and geophysical testing began work at the site last week.”
