Double-Dome Design
You can fool the governor with a trick that engineers used to build the United States Capitol dome. The U.S. Capitol dome is really an illusion. It's actually a thin shell. And the structure that holds up the shell is a ring of 36 curved, iron ribs. Beneath the ribs is a smaller dome. The ribs support the thin, outer shell, but the smaller dome inside can support itself. You won't need as much steel with this double-dome design, so you'll save money. And the governor will be impressed with the tall and elegant shape of the new dome. Shhh... Don't tell him that it's only an illusion! Congratulations!
