[quote]Additional questions about the deal surfaced last year, when a public report cast doubt on the district’s claim that transitioning from diesel to electric buses would result in “zero net change” in transportation costs. Soon after, the Montgomery County Inspector General raised further concerns, citing delivery delays and the district’s failure to recover $372,000 from Highland for buses that were not operational.

The state board’s 11-page report also referenced the criminal convictions of two former MCPS transportation officials, including an assistant director who stole more than $300,000 from the project. Their involvement, the board concluded, further “tainted” the procurement process.
