County: Thanks, We'll Take Back Our Old Building

As >expected, Montgomery County Executive Isiah “Ike” Leggett has sent Mayor Susan Hoffmann a letter letting the City know that that County does indeed intend to exercise it’s right of first refusal in the event that a new District Court House is not built on the site of the old Rockville Public Library.

Here’s a copy of the full letter.

Here’s a funny part: Leggett does not exactly come out and say “no,” but instead says this:

“Based on discussions I have had with individual County Council members, the County Council would support a recommendation by me to exercise the right of first refusal.”

It’s a classic example of political leaders seeming to be constitutionally unable to deliver bad news in a clear voice. Just a pet peeve of mine.
