Henry Hailstock, Past President of the Montgomery County Branch NAACP, has it right. Taxpayers should be "pissed off".
Jim Shalleck, Republican lawyer, has it right. There should be an investigation--not by Montgomery County or the State of Maryland--an INDEPENDENT investigation into the possible misuse of FEDERAL funds.
Find out why Montgomery County selected Foulger-Pratt to build the SSTC, Parsons Brinkerhoff to provide the engineering design, and Balter Co. to provide concrete inspection and testing and special quality inspection. Was it an open process? Why wasn't the SSTC bid for construction, as has been standard practice for public works projects for decades?
An INDEPENDENT investigation should "follow the money". The independent investigation should address if political contributions were part of the selection process. The investigation should examine the numerous design, construction, testing/inspection, and oversight errors and omissions to determine if criminal negligence and misuse of public funds were involved.
Mr. Hailstock and Mr. Shalleck have it right. A few "pissed off" taxpayers have it right. Why aren't there more?
