Move The Courthouse Calls For Investigation

In an effort to continue their efforts to get the state to choose a different site for the new >district court house, the Move The Courthouse citizens’ group said Monday that it has asked Maryland’s attorney general and Montgomery County’s inspector general to look into whether the proper procedures were followed when it comes to the state’s decision to place the proposed new courthouse at the old library site.

According to the group’s press release:

The group has asked Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler and Montgomery County Inspector General Thomas Dagley to conduct investigations into the circumstances surrounding the State’s planned construction of the courthouse at 99 Maryland Avenue in Rockville. Move the Courthouse has asked for “the true facts concerning how the site was selected, and the subsequent alleged spending of more than $11 million to buy the site and design a courthouse”, according to its letter.

“We believe that due process was not followed, that taxpayers and lawmakers were mislead, and that former as well as current elected officials and public employees may have acted improperly in making ‘deals’ to ensure that the courthouse would be built at that location” the group wrote.
