Regardless of how many billions of $ that the public-private partnership Purple Line costs, it shouldn't be approved until taxpayers get some answers on the "monumental debacle" Silver Spring Transit Center public-private partnership. For example, why did Montgomery County non-competitively choose private builder Foulger Pratt, private engineer Parsons Brinckerhoff and private inspector Balter Co. to provide services for the SSTC, when private companies are selected competitively for most public works projects? Wasting public funds (federal, state & local) is wasting public funds, whether it's in the tens of millions or billions.
