Manager of the year candidates

David Dise, Montgomery County MD Department of General Services director, for Silver Spring Transit Center project/construction management. Despite the facts that the Silver Spring Transit Center's construction is severely flawed and grossly overbudget and overdue (the SSTC is undergoing "repairs", but hasn't opened to the public yet), Mr. Dise has repeatedly assured the public that "the SSTC will absolutely be safe". In addition to his nomination as manager of the year, Mr. Dise is also nominated for seer of the year.

Richard Sarles, recently retired WMATA general manager. For METRO's abysmal safety, operations, maintenance, financial and service records. 

FTA: Serious safety lapses at WMATA

Acting FTA administrator Therese McMillan, for FTA's hypocritical criticism of WMATA while promoting public-private partnerships that shift responsibility/accountability from the public sector, where it belongs, to the private sector. On the heels of the "monumental debacle" Silver Spring Transit Center public-private partnership, both the FTA and MTA are promoting the $2.45 BILLION Purple Line public-private partnership--a GREAT example of fleecing the public (taxpayers), and poor management.
