Obama Center subcontractor shuts down amid $4M fight

Weeks after the Obama Presidential Center’s star-studded opening in Chicago, a subcontractor who previously claimed his company was stiffed for nearly $4 million has shut down operations and laid off 25 union workers.
Mike Owen, the owner of Chicago-based Adamson Plumbing Contractors, told Fox News Digital that the financial fallout forced the company to abandon about half a dozen other construction jobs and left it on the verge of collapse. Owen described the shutdown as a painful decision he believed was necessary to save the company from bankruptcy.
"Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in our industry wants to do," Owen said. "It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you know you can finish them and the company can still make money. But we were put in a pretty bad corner."

The contractor is white, so I have to assume he paid all of the black contractors first. Racist mofo.

You are really going to play the "wadabout" game after Obama stiffed a company that is paying union wages and benefits and it resulted in those union workers losing their jobs? After Obama calling himself extremely pro union?

If this guy is going bankrupt because the folks handling the Obama Center construction stiffed him for millions of dollars... It's kind of a big deal, nerd.

Dumb question, but if you were stiffed for nearly 4 million, why not place a lien on the property and other assets?

So Obama won’t/can’t pay his bills? . Need more context…..
