The thing I don’t understand is, if the GSA owns the building paid for with taxpayer dollars, and they are leasing the building to the EPA, I assume the EPA is paying the lease with taxpayer dollars. Seems quite asinine to me. Why not turn the building over to whatever government entity needs it. It is paid for already by us, the taxpayer, so why are we getting double dipped. The original purchase and the lease payment. Stupid.

EPA’s inspector general found contractors used partitions, screens and piled up boxes to hide the rooms from security cameras in the 70,000 square-foot building located in Landover, Md. The warehouse — used for inventory storage — is owned by the General Services Administration and leased to the EPA for about $750,000 per year.

Let alone the fact that the EPA contractor is abusing their privilege, we are getting screwed.
