I'm
bothered by OPAL's presumption that this municipal corporation, this
quasi-private company, TriMet, even has what it calls "constituents".
For a governing body to have constituents would imply that somebody got
elected to be accountable for something. TriMet's Board of Directors
are all appointed by Governor Kitzhaber, none are elected, and obviously
none demonstrate any transparency or responsibility to any member of
the public, union worker, or social advocacy organization. Those people
need to open their eyes and get the bigger picture on what's going on
here--nothing short of union busting, privatization, and filthy rich
bastards getting richer while they impose austerity on the rest of us!
