Should be Some Swell Door
The Interior Department is spending $139,000 for new doors for Secretary Ryan Zinke's office suite, according to records posted online.
The work was recommended by Interior career facilities and security officials, an agency spokeswoman said, not by Zinke. "The secretary was not aware of this contract but agrees that this is a lot of money for demo, install, materials, and labor," Heather Swift, the spokeswoman, said in a statement.
The award to Maryland-based Conquest Solutions LLC was first reported by the Associated Press. The work involves replacing three sets of double doors, including two that open onto a balcony and leak during rain storms, the AP reported. An existing set of doors to Zinke's office from a hallway do not have a lock, so the security will be upgraded with the new doors.

Maybe it’s made out of clean coal
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Should be Some Swell Door
They should have contacted Renewal by Andersen for replacement windows and doors. They could have opted for their Fibrex windows and doors that cost about twice as much as vinyl, but still would be a pittance compared to $139,000. Plus, Andersen is always having some kind of sale: like by two, get two 40% off.
I just hope the replacement doors and windows aren’t made out of any steel or aluminum from China.
But hey, if you’re spending somebody else’s money (us taxpayers) who cares how much it costs.

Right, rongone. I'm saving some of this stuff so when I hear that 'fiscal responsibility' crap coming from politicians who beat that drum, I can point to 31 grand dining room tables and 139k office doors.
