That’s on top of the original price tag:

The price tag for the project has ballooned to an estimated $7.5 million — including $6 million in public funds — from an original budget of $1.5 million that was supposed to be funded entirely through private donations from Tribute to Liberty.

Lifetime $8.5 million cost for a slab of granite and some metal rods. Some contractor’s palms had to have been greased here.

Okay so who are the elected officials who approved public money for this so they can be stoned to death
