I feel bad for Chief Judge Moreno...
He has inherited two big problems -- he has to deal with mold in the old Dyer Building and a recent explosion in the new Ferguson Building. The over on the January 1, 2008 opening is looking pretty good right now.
Julie Kay details in the DBR today (yes, I thought she had left too) that Ervin Gonzalez is investigating the mold issue in the Dyer Building that we covered previously here. And she goes through some of the issues with the new building, including a recent explosion that has disabled the electrical system. (It was supposed to open in July 2005 and is $78 million over budget!) The good news is that a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the building.

To bad we can't read the story!
ReplyDeleteThere was an explosion? Huck granted a continuance for more than 4 days???
ReplyDelete78 Million over budget? What level is that under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines? Has there been an acceptance of responsibility?
