Estela de Luz Calderón’s “Pillar of Light,” meant to commemorate Mexico’s bicentennial, came in at more than 43 million dollars over budget and a year and four months late. “Some Mexicans have suggested the quartz-clad light tower be dubbed ‘the monument to corruption,’ ” wrote the AP. At a total cost of more than a billion dollars, this “Pillar of Light” shows little for it. Its tackiness is an insult to Mexico’s history and heritage.

Estela de Luz

Calderón’s “Pillar of Light,” meant to commemorate Mexico’s bicentennial, came in at more than 43 million dollars over budget and a year and four months late.

“Some Mexicans have suggested the quartz-clad light tower be dubbed ‘the monument to corruption,’ ” wrote the AP.

At a total cost of more than a billion dollars, this “Pillar of Light” shows little for it. Its tackiness is an insult to Mexico’s history and heritage.
