Oregon Legislature overwhelmingly approves state audit of TriMet

Secretary of State Kate Brown will conduct an unprecedented top-to-bottom audit of TriMet's operations, finances, governance and transparency under a bill approved Tuesday by the Oregon Legislature.
The state Senate voted unanimously to finalize the measure, which lawmakers say was prompted in large part by recent investigations by The Oregonian into sleepy drivers and managers receiving secret pay raises. Gov. John Kitzhaber has said he will sign the bill.

Only one elected representative voted against the audit:
Victor Gilliam is a Republican member of the Oregon House of Representatives, representing District 18.
