Why?

http://www.mymcmedia.org/shalleck-on-silver-spring-transit-center-video/

Why can't we get answers? We're "paying the freight". More than $120 million in federal (53%), state (11%) and local (36%) PUBLIC funds have been spent on the Silver Spring Transit Center; and, the end is nowhere in sight. Why has Montgomery County proceeded with tens of millions in repairs without our input? What's wrong with asking the County why it's spending tens of millions in repairs to the brand new Silver Spring Transit Center that hasn't even opened publicly yet? We're not entitled to an explanation? Why hasn't there been a public meeting where we can ask our questions and provide our comments on the public record? Democrat, Republican, Independent, apolitical. Why should it make any difference who's asking the question? If we're "paying the freight", then we're entitled to answers to our questions, and to have our comments recorded on the public record, regardless of our political affiliation.

It may be nothing, Mr. Shalleck; but, the fact that we can't get simple answers to our simple questions doesn't pass the "smell test".
