Garage deal coming back to bite county

Who's idea was it to by One Montgomery Plaza?
Sounded pretty good at the time, didn't it?
The county would buy it because they needed more office space, and they would continue to pay the school district the property taxes.
Well, they're trying to get out of that little agreement, but that's not the worst of it.
Did they actually send someone over to inspect the building before they decided to throw our tax dollars at the money pit?
The Scoop has it on good authority that the county was actually told to not buy the building, that it needed to many repairs.
Have you ever seen more scaffolding around a building longer?
And to add insult to injury, the county is now being sued by the contractors working on the building because they're not getting paid.
