Montgomery County’s Office of Human Rights spent nearly $90,000 earlier this year on office renovations and new furniture that some employees said is a waste of taxpayer money.

The county spent $57,662.89 on construction costs to turn an archive room into a new conference room, county records show. The county also approved spending more than $39,000 on new furniture for the office, but officials said the final cost was about $31,000.
