Trump Orders Scores of Kennedy Center Staff Fired in Final Insult [View all]
In his presidential sidequest to overhaul the Kennedy Center, Donald Trump wants to get rid of most of the people who make it work.
Dozens of employees of the historic performing arts center are on the chopping block after its board of trustees, handpicked by Trump, 79, voted to approve a two-year renovation project on Monday, CNN reported.
Monday’s meeting minutes said that “approximately 75 to 175 of the Center’s roughly 300 employees” would be impacted by the two-year full shutdown, according to the outlet.
“Major infrastructure needs include HVAC and chilled water systems, electrical infrastructure, structural and concrete deficiencies, service tunnel conditions, waterproofing, roof and steel degradation, and life-safety systems,” the minutes said. “A full shutdown is the most efficient and cost-effective path to complete the work properly.”
