A mold remediation project that already costs more than $150,000 at the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department headquarters has revealed deeper water issues that might push expenses higher.

At a special meeting Tuesday, police commission members considered new expenses with a representative from Strunk-Albert Engineering, the company hired in April at a cost of $156,618.

Police and officials first contacted the company to do a walk-through in the fall after noticing mold in the basement.

The remediation process, which began about six weeks ago, has displaced the commission from its typical meeting space. Members met at Tobyhanna Township on Tuesday.

The evidence room is also in the basement and was not part of the original estimate.

Constructional Project Manager John E. Stevens of Strunk-Albert said the company did not initially get access to inspect it.

The board approved an additional $3,850 to address mold issues in the evidence room.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., met Friday with a White House official to call for removing upper management at Hines Veterans Affairs Hospital, which he said would create a culture of accountability for the embattled facility.

Kirk also met with Hines director Joan Ricard, whom he has repeatedly recommended be removed.

He again called for her termination, adding I suggested to her that she get a criminal lawyer to defend her against the upcoming FBI investigation Im going to recommend.

The Illinois senator met with Deputy White House Chief of Staff Rob Nabors to address a plethora of issues at Hines, including long wait times for veterans, and even an alleged mold problem. Kirks staff issued photos of what they said was mold discovered in a newly renovated area of the hospital.

Kirk first met with Nabors and hospital whistleblowers, including Germaine Clarno, a Hines social worker who is local president of a union representing hospital employees. He then met with Nabors, Hines representatives, including Ricard, as well as Sen. Dick Durbin and congressional officials.

Kirk suggested the hospital take on a Navy culture:
