Didn’t Montgomery County chose the engineer, the contractor and the concrete inspection/testing firm? Didn’t Montgomery County have a fulltime, onsite construction management team of County employees on the job during construction? Didn’t Montgomery County issue the building permits? Doesn’t Montgomery County have the responsibility to inspect projects in their jurisdiction during construction? Isn't Montgomery County owner-of-record for the facility? For Mr. Berliner to suggest that WMATA "has no less responsibility than our (Montgomery) county with respect to the current state of affairs" is patently absurd.

WJLA 7, WUSA 9, WRC 4, Fox 5, Washington Post, Montgomery County Gazette, Silver Spring Patch, WTOP, WMAL, WAMU, etc., There hasn't been any new reporting on the Silver Spring Transit Center for over a month. Why aren't you reporting this story? Why aren't you asking Montgomery County why they selected Foulger-Pratt to build the SSTC, Parsons Brinkerhoff to design it, and Balter Co. to inspect and test the concrete? Why aren't you investigating whether or not political contributions were part of the selection process?
