Two years behind schedule and millions of dollars over budget, the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC), says a key Senate appropriator, has become “the most dangerous site in Washington†to work on, according to The Hill.
During Tuesday’s Appropriations Legislative Branch subcommittee hearing, ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) cited a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which revealed that the architect of the Capitol (AoC) had submitted inaccurate safety data to Congress. Sixteen accidents and lost time had not been reported according to OSHA requirements.
