"They are scared to death about talking about it." The Obama Presidential Center was pitched as a legacy project that would help lift minority-owned and local businesses. Now, several subcontractors say the project has left them saddled with massive unpaid costs. One plumbing contractor says he's nearly $4 million in the red: "That is a hole that no subcontractor, small business can survive." A Fox News Digital investigation found multiple construction firms reporting losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of millions, with many of the complaints coming from the very firms the Center claims it wanted to support.
