Trimet just 'finds' $500k

THIS LATEST post from Joe Rose is actually quite amusing.
First of all the equivalent of Trimet finding $500k is me finding $50, its just no big deal.
Trimet has so many line items and so many budgets moving a measly $500k is nothing to them.

Here's the quote:
Dave Auxier, TriMet’s executive director of finance, said the extra money to improve service would come from a “working capital” fund.

One of many 'working capital' funds scattered around that gigantic agency I am sure

Listen to this craziness:

Budget officials realized they could take $500,000 from the reserve fund to improve bus service and “keep us above board” with the board’s requirements, he said. 

As if it just came to them from the blue sky that 'they' could do that!? Give me a freaking break will ya.

Continue reading the rest of the article, of course there is nothing specific that could be quoted later, a Trimet  trademark, never say anything that can be used against you later.
