A bombshell report released in late July from Montgomery County’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), revealed that a Maryland school system’s electric bus initiative led to millions of dollars in wasteful spending due to problems with the vehicles.

According to the Daily Caller, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland had announced in February 2021 that it would replace 326 diesel buses with electric ones as part of its sustainability efforts. However, as a result of delays in delivery and frequent mechanical problems with the electric buses, the county has had to partially revert to diesel buses, despite having invested approximately $170 million in the new fleet.

Despite multiple challenges that have plagued electric buses overall, the Daily Caller reveals that the Biden administration has persisted in advocating for electric vehicles (including buses) overall. This includes, the Daily Caller says, allocating or planning to allocate approximately $10 billion to states and territories for acquiring electric and low-emission buses. Additionally, during May, the school district’s administration revealed it would distribute another $900 million to fund green school buses as part of its efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

As it turns out, the intent of the program could have an even more nefarious intent, specifically, money laundering.

The entire municipal electric vehicle program is very likely nothing more than a money making racket for politicians and bureaucrats along with their pet industries to launder money hand over fist at taxpayer expense. This report is a much needed spotlight to shine on a segment of the cockroaches conducting this chicanery. Hopefully, reports exposing this corruption will be reported more frequently in the very near future.
