Metro board member ‘very dissatisfied’ with agency’s OT bills

D.C. officials are raising questions about Metro’s spending after The Washington Examiner reported some workers were taking home five-figure payments for just two months’ worth of overtime. D.C. Councilman Tommy Wells, who serves on Metro’s board of directors, said Wednesday that he is “very unsatisfied” with how Metro officials have been spending money.

“I don’t want to micromanage them yet but I am very dissatisfied with some of the overtime costs and how they’ve managed it,” the Ward 6 Democrat said during a D.C. budget meeting. “And I expect that to be changed.”
