Portland Transport: TriMet Launches "Cut The Budget" On-line Tool
"Engineer Scotty" from P-tansport did point out to me that he noticed that anti union hype in the MINISTRY OF PROPAGANDA so called "tool"
TriMet has a new web tool on how to deal with the upcoming funding crisis. Of particular interest may be this FAQ, which contains TriMet's answers to common questions like "why not cut WES" or "why not delay Milwaukie MAX"?
That said, fairness requires that I point out that the page DOES go to great lengths to wag fingers at the transit union.

I see no option on this tool to cut high-level Administrator salaries and benefits.
Portland Transport is nothing but a bully pulpit for the pro-rail cabal.
Since they claim to be a 501(c)3 non-profit organization it would be interesting to see who is funding them, because a 501(c)3 isn't supposed to be taking a political stand but rather educate. If they're going one way or another, that could be grounds to have their 501(c)3 status revoked and some hefty penalties from the good folks over at the Internal Revenue Service.
I don't know for sure, but I think Portland Transport is funded by smallish individual donations (he solicits once a year) and Chris Smith himself.
There really aren't many costs for what he/they do.
