The "light at the end of the tunnel" could be that of an oncoming train (no pun intended). There are many unanswered questions with the SSTC, such as: Is it safe? (despite what Mr. Dise and the rest of Montgomery County and their paid consultants say) Why weren't all the problems with the SSTC discovered sooner (extensive cracking, slabs thinner than what they're supposed to be, 250 beams that need to be strengthened, concrete that’s understrength and overstressed, exposed reinforcement, missing reinforcement, etc.) especially given Montgomery County’s full time construction management team and periodic visits by other Montgomery County and WMATA personnel and their paid consultants? Why did Montgomery County select the builder/contractor, the engineer/designer, and the concrete inspector/tester and special quality inspector for the SSTC? Why wasn’t the SSTC bid for construction as is standard practice for most public works projects? etc., etc., etc. ... So many questions; so few answers.
