Patch: Council Land Deal Legislation Passes Too Late For Brickyard

The Montgomery County Council approved a bill that harnesses some of the county executive's power to make land deals. County Executive Ike Leggett has ten days to approve or veto the bill.

Over 70 acres of dedicated public school land that the current and past County Executive have turned over to private interests is listed below.  Meanwhile, Montgomery County Public School children are being educated in temporary trailers outside of their school buildings.  Is turning over public school land to private interests for pennies in the best interest of public school children?
