Who's paying for the Silver Spring Transit Center debacle?

We all are.

We're all paying more than retail for the Silver Spring Transit Center, including repairs to the severely flawed, yet-to-be-opened, glorified parking garage. 

US taxpayers contribute 53%.
Maryland taxpayers pay twice--Federal (53%) + MD (11%).
Montgomery County taxpayers pay three times--Federal (53%) + MD (11%) + Montgomery County (36%).
METRO patrons pay too.
Such a deal!

According to the March 2013 report commissioned by Montgomery County, the SSTC's numerous flaws are the result of errors and omissions by the SSTC's builder/contractor (Foulger Pratt), design engineer (Parsons Brinkerhoff) and concrete testing and inspection firm and special quality inspector (Balter Co.).

We all deserve to know all of the facts concerning the severely flawed, over-budget, overdue, lemon SSTC. These include: 

• how and why Montgomery County non-competitively selected the SSTC's builder/contractor, design engineer and concrete testing and inspection firm. 
• whether political contribution$ were part of the $election proce$$. 
• why Montgomery County, the Federal Transit Administration and the Maryland Transit Administration failed to hold public meetings to explain to the public why they're making repairs to the lemon SSTC when the public was promised a brand new transit center. 
• why Montgomery County, the FTA and the MTA failed to provide an opportunity for those who are paying for the Silver Spring Transit Center to ask our questions and to provide our comments on the public record, before they began making repairs to the seriously flawed SSTC.
