McGrath Administration Faces Costly Public Works Fallout

The record recalls state funding shifts during McGrath era, notably covering 70 percent of costs for small town Republican supporters and later absorbing all costs. The unfinished Masonic Temple became the Veterans Memorial Building, bailed out for over $750 by investors. The project remains largely unused decades later, with discussion of demolition as the governor won reelection by 62 852 votes amid bond approval. The piece credits political skill for public-interest gains despite notable missteps.
