TRIMET'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
| We have never seen Trimet issue a chart like this from the MTA, this is their dirty little secret. Or one of many secrets that Trimet keeps hidden from the public. But I know one thing, debt service consumes more money from the TRIMET budget than employee health care does. But nobody knows that except TRIMET insiders and those of us that have studied the Trimet budget. TRIMET is more interested in paying banks then in the health of its employees |
Latest "seen and heard on Trimet" (uncensored)
WHY IS THE PUBLIC PUTTING UP WITH MCFUHRER?
 |
| This man is using public funds to conduct a campaign against the union. If that is not a misuse of public funds then I don't know what is. He should be indicted for misuse of public funds |
A reader writes
Its
light rail that is bankrupting tri messss not the union workers. Tri
Messs has been going down the vortex hole the last 15 years as they have
gone deeper and deeper into light rail debt. Where "IS"
the empirical data that proves Mc Farlands claim about workers health
insurance being the most expensive in the country? Compared to what
other transit agencies? No evidence, just flat out propaganda supplied
by the media over and over. If you say enough times people will believe
it, right!
ACCORDING TO TRIMET PIN HEADS THERE ARE NO VISUAL BARRIERS
Invisible pedestrians are a nightmare for bus drivers, who live in fear of running over people they can't see.
Three pedestrians were killed in 63 accidents with SEPTA buses in 2012, the most in recent history.
Now, bus drivers are urging SEPTA to reposition outside rearview mirrors, contending they create a blind spot that endangers pedestrians, especially during left turns.
The drivers have an ally in David Sale of Vancouver, Wash., whose daughter Danielle, 22, was killed by a left-turning bus in Portland, Ore., in 2010.

WORD OF THE DAY
CADILLAC RAIL PLAN
They describe our health insurance as 'Cadillac' but somehow nobody mentions the Boondoggle Cadillac rail plan which is MLR!!

MY COMMENT AT PORTLAND TRANSPORT REGARDING THE TRIMET 'CRISIS'
And outside experts said that TriMet's problems are much more complex than its union contract.(In other words, Mcfarlane and his bought and paid for cronies are lying)
Don Pickrell, chief economist at the U.S. Department of Transportation's Volpe Center in Cambridge, Mass., said TriMet is typical of many of the country's transit agencies.
He said that like others, it is stuck with seemingly intractable budget problems, even as ridership grows and it takes federal grant money for new rail lines it doesn't have the money to operate.
Trying to get the ignorant masses to understand this is a task unlikely to succeed in a country that is filled with a population that is against itself.
In Greece, Spain, Italy the people rose up together and to this day they fight the money masters.
In the good ole US of A the population tears itself down.
No police needed here.
Americans will get what they deserve. They think it will end with the destruction of the unions.
Boy are they in for a big surprise.
