“The reason we paid $5.75 million is because that's what the sellers wanted”

The Anne Arundel County auditor is raising questions about the county's purchase of 30 acres recently slated for a shopping center for $2 million more than the current owners paid for the same property in October.

Auditor Teresa Sutherland also joined state Comptroller Peter Franchot in questioning why two developers are selling the tract in Wayson's Corner to Anne Arundel County for about $1.25 million less than the $7 million average of two appraisals.

Sutherland and Franchot are suggesting that the county deal of $5.75 million could allow Walter Petrie and E. Steuart Chaney to be reimbursed for more than $2 million in development costs - such as for engineering, lawyers fees and traffic studies - even though county and state officials said that it is against their practice to do so.
