Jeff’s Reviews > Washington's Monument: And the Fascinating History of the Obelisk > Status Update

That the monument to Washington, who abhorred factions (parties), was itself delayed and tarnished by partisanship, is disgraceful. Such is our nation's capital and the nature of politics.

At what point was it a red flag that it was taking Congress so long to fund the monument? 10 years? 20?
