Out of Town Travel...GONE, Local Travel & Meetings ZERO, Official Meeting Expenses...History!, Dues and Subscriptions? a $14,000 increase, then ANOTHER $9000 increase? Sounds unnecessary, Office Supplies nearly doubled?? Let get that in half again. and Awards and Banquets?? Yeah think not!

Then General Manager goes from $215k to 222k? WRONGO!!

I just found 73000 in savings in this office alone!! And lets take that raise McFarlane thinks hes getting, and switch + to a -, Bam another $7000!

Then theres another $9000 out of town travel lodged in the Diversity/Equity section....and in the Public Affairs Sections....and the.....I see savings all around here!!!

A decent amount may be going down to Salem and the legislature.

But if money really was an issue (and time wasn't), they could get Cherriots/SMART to provide free passes in exchange for doing work that's also beneficial to them (and transit in general). This would make many of those trips free.
