					<description><![CDATA[Waterproofing in the Capitol&#8217;s underground parking garages now will have to removed because it&#8217;s &#8220;carcinogenic,&#8221; a state official said Wednesday. Tom Berger, director of the Real Estate Development and Management Division, spoke in front of a Cabinet aides meeting in the Capitol. The division is part of the Department of Management Services, the state’s real estate manager.
