DID DREW BLEVINS REALLY SAY THIS?

Blevins on left  

This comes third hand but the person I heard if from I trust completely and she says the person she heard it from was at the meeting when Drew Blevins said this:
His statement: I won't ride Trimet buses because of the people that ride the buses and the people that drive the buses!

Shouldn't that be grounds for termination? Imagine if Microsoft's V.P. of Marketing publicly stated he would never use a computer that ran Windows. Or Apple's V.P. of Marketing stating that he'd never use an iPhone or an iPod or a Macintosh. Or a General Motors marketing exec saying he prefers Toyotas.
