Four Montgomery County Council members are criticizing County Executive Ike Leggett’s “rudderless” efforts to attract and keep businesses after the county’s economic development chief left and rival Fairfax County won the high-profile Hilton Hotels headquarters.

The council members sent Leggett a letter asking him to immediately appoint a new director for the county’s Department of Economic Development. The county and Pradeep Ganguly parted ways two weeks ago following an investigation into whether Ganguly improperly steered county money to a company where his son works.
