Some White House ballroom contractors go underground [View all]

"The site is under construction" is a sign that could greet visitors peering through the fence at the southeast corner of the White House, trying to catch a glimpse of where the East Wing once stood.

Instead, those are the words greeting visitors to the websites of several companies working on building the White House ballroom.

Some of these firms appear to be trying to lower their profiles (in some cases, literally, on social media) amid the sometimes vitriolic online reaction to the East Wing demolition and construction of the 90,000-square-foot, . None of the firms have been accused of any legal wrongdoing.

EAI Rolloff, a Maryland-based hauling company, has advised visitors to its homepage that the site is "Undergoing Routine Maintenance." There are no links or contact information listed.

Sounds like some of these contractors think they're going to make so much money on this project. Don't they know Trump's reputation of stiffing contractors?
