Governor at center of two transit disputes – The Wash. Times
Speaker of the House William J. Howell claims to have been ignored when he warned the the Dulles Corridor Metro project was flawed. He was opposed to involving the Metropolitan Washington Aiports Authority in the project and in favor of private financing that may have included “selling the rights” to collect tolls on the Dulles Toll Road. Howell wants “the General Assembly should push for the oversight authority to investigate how the state got in this position” which sounds like a good idea, provided its mandate is to figure out how to get the project back on track, not to merely place blame.
