Hey; ain't their money! Nope; it's yours.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau officials will pay $22.3 million to lease temporary offices in addition to the record-breaking $145 millionbeing spent to renovate the agency's headquarters, according to documents obtained by the Washington Examiner.
The temporary offices to be occupied by CFPB for the next two years are being leased in a building owned by Neil G. Bluhm, a longtime friend and campaign bundler for President Obama.
Bluhm made headlines in 2010 when he hosted Obama's 49th birthday party at his Chicago home. Admission was $30,000 per person, with the proceeds going to the Democratic National Committee.
