"I gave him an unlimited budget, and he exceeded it."

Talk about throwing good money after bad! So far, Montgomery County has spent $120 million of our money on the severely flawed, over-budget, yet-to-be-opened Silver Spring Transit Center. (More than half the funding for the SSTC are federal funds.) And, Montgomery County isn't done yet! There's the two inch latex concrete overlay that Montgomery County intends to install when the weather thaws. And, there are 250 beams to strengthen, leaks to fix, cracks to seal, etc. How much will this work cost? Who knows? Montgomery County hasn't said, and the media hasn't asked. And, there will be future maintenance costs, which will likely be through-the-roof because of the SSTC's numerous flaws. And, then there will be legal costs--LOTS and LOTS of legal costs. We'll be picking up the tab for Montgomery County's outside legal consulting fees and in-house administration costs for years while Montgomery County and its paid contractor/builder Foulger-Pratt, its paid engineer designer Parsons Brinkerhoff and its paid concrete tester/inspector and special quality inspector Balter Company fight out in court as to who's going to pay for the SSTC's numerous construction, design and testing and inspection flaws.

In the early 1970s Redskins' owner Edward Bennett Williams said of Coach George Allen "I gave him an unlimited budget, and he exceeded it!" At least George Allen bought a respectable football team with his unlimited budget. Montgomery County bought a severely flawed, over-budget, yet-to-be-opened white elephant. And, Montgomery County hasn't finished squandering our money yet. 
Such a deal!
