The Reflecting Pool got cleaner, and the spin got louderThe Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been getting its algae problem under control, which is good news for anyone who thinks a national monument should look like one. Greenwater Services was hired in April by the Department of the Interior for the procurement and installation of a fully integrated Nano Bubble Filtration System to replace the failing filtration gear at the pool. That should have been a routine fix. Instead, it became another Washington fight over who gets to wave the most confident flag while the water turns green.

The department also said several arrests were made over the weekend. Officials have started putting up a fence around the Reflecting Pool, and Trump said repairs are expected to begin soon. The dispute also comes after graffiti reading "86 47" appeared on the grass of the National Mall and on the bottom of the pool, which only adds another layer of bad judgment to a site that already had enough paperwork.The media fight grew right along with the damageThe story…
