Is putting more $ into the lemon Silver Spring Transit Center the "right thing to do"?

Montgomery Co. Council approves more funding for delayed transit center - WTOP

Most people don't spend their own $ to "fix" a LEMON that they were unfortunate enough to buy in the first place.

"'At this point, to not finish this project would be totally irresponsible. We're not happy. It hasn't been a project that any of us is proud of,' Berliner said. But with the completion so close, the right thing to do is 'to move on and get it done,' he said." 

No, Mr. Berliner, you're wrong. Continuing to pour more public $ into "fixing" the LEMON Silver Spring Transit Center (aka Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center), beyond what we've already paid for this LEMON, isn't the "right thing to do"The "responsible" thing to do with the SSTC (that none of us are "happy with"  or "proud of") is to get rid of this LEMON and cut the public's losses. As a matter of fact, you should have done that in March 2013 when KCE's report came out. Besides, what makes you so sure that you're "close" to completion? You've been saying that for years, and you've been wrong.
