From what I understand the engineering and inspections wasnt cheap and took awhile.
That is a poor avenue to go down. Trump the OCD perfectionist would never allow his family into a building with that engineering report. So he didnt slide in his shin dig then close it.
It is quite simple, no other treasurer gave two flips about maintenance- beyond the spoons in the bath rooms famousc rock ballad singers used to shoot blow up their noses.
I am glad Zeppelin made it before daddy came back and discovered the building went to shite.

Renovation cannot begin until the D.C. Circuit rules on the Board’s approved name.
This is the baby throwing a tantrum and withholding repairs despite more than $200 Million having already been approved by Congress to do the repairs.

That $200M is our tax dollars, along with the other tens of millions they receive annually. I would like to know how that money has been spent. Do you feel the same?

Let them in so they can protest under the ceiling.

How was 96 million dollars spent by the treasurer?

Television producer Shonda Rhimes was appointed to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Board of Trustees by President Barack Obama in September 2013.
Appointment by Obama
President Barack Obama appointed Rhimes—creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal—to the Kennedy Center board in 2013 alongside other members.Rhimes later served as the treasurer for the arts organization.
Resignation from the Board
In February 2025, Rhimes resigned from her position on the board.Her departure followed structural leadership changes and actions by Donald Trump, who appointed himself chairman of the institution.

I have no idea. Seems with all the public disclosures, either of the two Trump administrations that followed her appointment could find out.

Absolutely. If the baby has spent a penny on anything other than what the money was appropriated for, he should be removed.

So Trump is correct when he says it will lose 100s of millions if the repairs are done.
But he'll agree to fix it if they name it after him.

I noticed the big banner proclaiming "Hands Off the Center". That's what is called an easy layup to comply with. Now those old white liberal protesters will get their wish. They will die of old age before it reopens.

Can you show me where Shonda Rhimes Hollywood producer, left a record as treasury?

These people would protest Trump releasing the cure for cancer

No. Don't you think the Trump DOJ could and would if she did something wrong? Why would they cover for her?

Rhimes served as treasurer on the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (an officer role involving oversight of financial matters). She was appointed by President Obama and resigned in February 2025 shortly after President Trump had prior board members removed, installed allies, and was elected chairman. A spokesperson confirmed her resignation from the board; she publicly noted it via an Instagram post quoting John F. Kennedy on artistic freedom. Other figures (such as Ben Folds and Renée Fleming) also stepped away around the same time.
npr.org
Organizational financial records (tax filings/Form 990s, audits, internal budgets, etc.) belong to the Kennedy Center itself as a nonprofit institution, not to individual officers. Later public reporting and documents have covered the Center’s finances under prior leadership (including claims of deficits, “phantom revenue,” fund reclassifications, and subsequent changes after the leadership transition), but none attribute any specific handover, personal retention, or special “treasury books” to Rhimes.

In short, she resigned from the treasurer role amid the board changes; the Center’s financial records remained with the organization.

Exactly what I expected them to look like.

And once again, the AARP is called into action.
Thanks Democrats - It always looks like this... and it's a national embarrassment to me.

Another one who is more worried about making a single person look bad rather than figure out why, after years and years of millions going for maint and upkeep, the maint and upkeep wasn't done.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Annual money has been appropriated for years, yet you still wish to play partisan games.

Is the allegation that she was skimming and Trump scared her off? Great. I hope they recover the money.
What does that have to do with changing the name of the Kennedy Center before making renovations already paid for by Congress?
