A million here a million there, just make sure it goes to business not employee benefits and not actual service that people need

PORTLAND - Construction of a new bridge across the Willamette River is causing headaches for the Portland Spirit cruise ship.

But now, the Spirit is getting some pain relief. For all its trouble, the company will receive about $2 million from TriMet.
That's on top of the $2 million TriMet is paying the ship's owners to lease their riverfront land during the bridge's construction.
