TRIMET CRC FUNDED PLANNERS TO BE PICKED UP BY TRIMET

My guess would be that they are moving them to the other boondoggle project, MLR.
Always money available for the useless in that hog trough

Q: What do the latest developments with the Columbia River Crossing (CRC) mean for TriMet?
A: The Washington State legislature chose not to consider a funding bill for Washington’s share of the project. As a result, the OR and WA governors have issued instructions to close down the Project office, effectively ending the CRC project that would have replaced the Interstate 5 bridge between Oregon and Washington. The project would also have extended the Yellow Line into Vancouver, WA. The five Capital Project employees working at the project office will be transitioned to other ongoing Capital Projects work.

Comment from interested party:

Knowing Neil, these people were signed to contracts so they would be paid whether they had any work or not.

Good, does that mean five Capital Projects employees FIRED (because, after all, they are term-limited employees limited only to the terms of the contract they are working on, so with no CRC they should have been given their walking papers)...

OR...does that mean five Capital Projects employees to work on enhancing bus stops, BRT and new bus purchases? Seeing how there is a lack of Capital Projects employees working on bus capital projects...
