How much did the military spend yesterday? $1.3 billion
Yesterday's big winner was a company that will be working on border wall replacement construction. The company is called Sullivan Land Services (SLS-CO) out of Galveston, Texas and it was awarded a $789 million contract yesterday by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Six months ago the company won another border wall construction contract worth $145 million. Barnard Construction's $187 million contract (listed below) was also for border wall replacement. BTW, did you know that the Secure Fence Act was passed back in 2006 with support from senators Obama, Clinton, and Biden? Wall construction began during the Bush administration, and continued during the Obama administration.
