TRIMET TRANSIT DISTRICT ATTEMPTS DESTRUCTION OF IT'S UNIONIZED EMPLOYEES BY THE CAREFUL APPLICATION OF PROPAGANDA WHICH IS DISSEMINATED BY THE PORTLAND CORPORATE MEDIA:
Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position.
As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare.

In these times of economic suffering, it would serve the public well if Trimet would recognize that many people are unable to start a new job because they haven't the initial fare to get there. It can be 2 weeks or more before a struggling potential employee can even afford a one-way trip.
How about free pass vouchers for those beginning new work? I'm sure the 'executives' would worry about the loss of revenue while working on their chip-shot...
Instead, such people are heavily penalized for their struggles. Typical one-per-center's.
I think there are places that will give out tickets. Whether there's enough to meet demand, I don't know.
One thing that KATU has failed to reveal is who receives the money from the fines. At a rate of $200+ at roughly 40 per day (just the number of citations reported by KATU for today) ends up being quite a lot of money. The Trimet execs won't be suffering, that's for sure.
