"Thinc Design, a New York firm whose credits include the 9/11 Memorial Museum, designed exhibits along a boardwalk brought in from Coney Island and hung living plant “chandeliers” to create a distinctive look for the U.S. pavilion at last year’s World Expo in Milan, a big success for its State Department sponsors.
The problem is nobody paid for it. Thinc Design is in the hole $1 million, after the State Department failed to raise enough private money to fund the display — and its owner wants John Kerry to help pay him back, a humiliating end to what was supposed to be revitalized international tradition that would evoke comparisons to the aspirational and future-embracing 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs.
The huge shortfalls in funding for last year’s World Expo exhibit, which drew 6 million people, now loom as a big embarrassment for the State Department and its leader. Officials will hold a conference call on Thursday to try to appease dozens of creditors."
Another 'awesome' Liberal idea executed without the funds to do so, ends in debt....how long before the State Department / Kerry asks for Americans' tax dollars to bail out HIS 'pet project'?!
Kerry's world's fair dream crushed by debt
