Trimet lies and distortions
This year’s Pride NW parade and festival are sponsored in part by TriMet. When TriMet claims to be experiencing a historic “budget-shortfall” somehow it has money to throw away on sponsorship.

WOULD THEY INTENTIONALLY EVADE PUBLIC TESTIMONY?
The Trimet executives changed both the time and the place of its board meeting without proper public notice.
Have you noticed as I have that every-time something important is planned they move the meeting location and/or times?
Personally, I think its intentional.
Why did they change the time of this board meeting?
And what prompted them to change its location into a more obscure spot away from the beloved light rail lines.

TRIMET EXECUTIVES DECIDE TO DOUBLE THE "CONTIGENCY FUND"
One of the best arguments that OPAL has to make its point is the fact that our beloved executives have decided to DOUBLE the 'contingency fund' from $10 million to $20 million.
They want to cut the hell out of bus service, increase the fares for passengers at the same time they are hoarding cash!
This place operates on the corporate model and we as the public are in serious danger of losing our transit system completely.
The OPAL fight is the most important fight in the history of TRIMET.
Be there tomorrow and support them!
