MEET THE NEW BOARD-MUCH WORSE THAN THE OLD BOARD

Kitzhaber, nothing but a disappointment to the labor movement, has made clear where he stands.
The removal of the lone voice of dissent on the Trimet board means very bad things, for riders and employees.
We now have a completely corporatist board, a board of career technocrats and big money businessmen.
You know what that means, the 1% have completely taken over governance of Trimet.
And we have a general manager who who is a ruthless cutthroat career technocrat, living off tax payer subsidies for over 25 years.
Another government "servant" who will walk away from his government 'service' a millionaire with a pornographic pension just like Fred Hansen.

Any Trimet worker or rider reading this should call Governor Kitzhaber's office, 503-378-4582, and politely demand that he correct his course with the Trimet board. Tell him he can do so by reinstating Lyn Lehrbach or someone else with a strong Labor background, and also urge the Governor to appoint someone who would be considered a rider advocate, a citizen rider with no ties to transit related, business development.

The governor is against us, sorry, but his intent is clear.

And the piece of shit won thanks to organized labor.

I had to hold my nose to vote for him, what a mistake that was.
