another politician with $40 million burning a hole in his pocket

First it was Leventhal: Purple Line delays push opening date back a year - WTOP

Now it's Leggett: Montgomery agrees to pay $40 million more for Purple Line construction - The Washington Post

It's bad enough that these politicians wasted $40 million in repairs to one "monumental debacle" public-private partnership (Silver Spring Transit Center).

Now they want to burn the taxpayers for more wasted public money on another dubious public-private partnership (the Purple Line).

There's nothing worse than politicians with your money burning a hole in their pocket!

And, it's not just their own jurisdiction's $ that they're wasting. These wasteful public-private partnerships are funded by state and federal public funds too. Taxpayers from all 50 states and US territories are paying for these politicians' poor decisions. (MD taxpayers outside Montgomery and Prince George's Counties are getting hit twice!)

It's time for taxpayer fleecing to STOP!
