Recession? Budget problems? That only is true for the 'little people' of Trimet.
The union workers and the riders are the only ones who 'give back' anything when it comes to Trimet.
Take a good look at the post at Portland Transit Lane which will give you a very clear picture of just how much pork Trimet really does support with our tax dollars.
Don't just look at the highlighted areas either, take a good look at the whole thing.
Just add up all the 'travel' budgets.
Just 1/2 of that pork moved back to operations would restore all the service cuts
This is the kind of thing that gets republicans elected. Of course once they are elected some of this pork may goe away but public gets hurt the most. But most citizens don't connect the dots, all they see is waste, fraud, and arrogance and what party plays to that? The Republicans. Waste in government is not some made up fantasy, you see it right here at the poster child of government waste->TRIMET
