GREED OF TRANSIT EXECUTIVES NOT LIMITED TO TRIMET EXECUTIVES

It’s essential that CAT be efficient and well-managed, especially when federal and state funds for public transit are drying up. But a quarter-million-dollar compensation plan for CAT’s chief exec? That’s excessive during a time of needed frugality. How can CAT’s seven board members who approved this package (it passed 7-1, with Ms. Stone voting against it) honestly look at property owners in the face and explain this move, when many of those same property owners are struggling economically and may soon be asked to cough up more money for county services and public schools?
