Remember when that 75-foot-wide river that washed Bethesda away after that water main break? That wasn’t Juanita Miller‘s fault. But almost everything else is.

At least, that’s the way Miller’s many critics have seen it over the course of her career with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. That career has now come to an end, according to a Washington Post report, which says that PG County Executive Jack Johnson asked the PG Council not to reappoint her as commissioner.

Her critics might say that the decision comes not a moment too soon for the second time. Before her appointment to the WSSC in 2005, Miller had in fact already served as a WSSC Commissioner — from 1996 to 2002. Her first stint was marked by controversy, as Adam Pagnucco of Maryland Politics Watch explains:

It did not take long for Miller to leave her mark on the agency. One year into her first term, Miller intervened in a contract dispute. Recyc Systems Inc., a white-owned firm, won a sludge-hauling contract at WSSC’s Blue Plains site with a low bid of $11.5 million. But Miller pushed the WSSC board to reject Recyc’s bid in favor of MTI Construction, a minority-owned firm, which was the third-lowest bidder at $13.5 million. Miller never told the board that MTI had contributed to her political campaigns. A state court ordered WSSC to reconsider its rejection and an ethics investigation ensued.

After the WSSC board deadlocked on the Recyc-MTI dispute, Miller accused the agency of racism in contracting.
