Looks like Houston's METRO posts video from all of its public meetings online; there's even a link from their front page!
Take a moment to watch the first 5-10 minutes of the 7/28/11 board meeting (the first public commenter & the board's response to him). Very similar topics as the TriMet board, but note how the board actually responds to the public! My favorite line is: "So you won't give me the list of the members of your organization, so I can meet with them and hear all of their good comments?" That's pure Texas, baby! haha....
Also, note how the public comment forum is up-front.
The guy with the blue shirt / red tie is their GM (who was just busted for looking at porn using the company internet access).

Also note the number of people who provided public comment IN SPANISH.
WOW! Right wing Houston Texas has mire empathy for the public than "green" Portland.
Unbelievable!
Well who knows if they actually do anything; but at least they pretend to care!
Rick Van B just says "thank you" and that's it.
