An interesting comment by the RAMPANT LION

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!
