[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adam has another post on the EV contract: https://montgomeryperspective.com/2024/10/07/more-on-mcpss-electric-bus-debacle/

[QUOTE]There is so much more in these studies, but I am not going to run a 12-part series on them.  Let’s just say that the Soviet Army never had as many red flags as these studies contain.  We will finish with this statement: “Fleet electrification is unlikely to be reversed.”  If that’s true, then that means that decisions made by McKnight and two admitted criminals have created consequences that will be hard for MCPS to escape.

I renew my request that Superintendent Thomas Taylor freeze the electric bus contract while he engages in a review.[/QUOTE]

I agree McKnight oversaw a boondoggle, but I don't get why Adam is letting Essie McGuire off the hook. She was Associate Superintendent and she sold the deal in to the BOE. She is now Taylor's chief of staff. Taylor's hands aren't clean so long as she's his chief of staff.[/quote]

Seems like McGuire was just following orders from McKnight.[/quote]

So McGuire doesn't have a mind of her own? And given her previous roles, she had a lot of relevant expertise that should've had her whistleblowing if she felt McKnight and her cronies were doing something untoward.[/quote]

How do you know she didn't? She left MCPS not too long after this.[/quote]

She certainly didn't clue in the OIG of the negotiations that Dana Edwards and District Operations are in with HET RIGHT NOW. Nor did she summon the Office of the General Counsel, who like Essie, was in the MCPS mix during the original contract's development, to come and explain the legal oversight failings. Again, Essie is in the mix AS WE SPEAK and she's still letting shenanigans go on.

There's no way Essie's hands are clean then or now. She literally presented the original proposal to the BOE. And she's been installed as chief of staff at MCPS since July. This contract was under scrutiny while she was an analyst for the Council. You can't be this naive.[/quote]
