TriMet does not hide documents or delay public requests my ass

Stoll Stoll Berne Lokting & Shlachter, who have billed TriMet more than $70,000 so far for the review.

The review comes four months after a federal judge sharply criticized TriMet for failing to produce documents to plaintiffs suing over a 2010 bus crash that killed two pedestrians and hurt three others.

The judge ordered TriMet to turn over the documents quickly and pay the plaintiffs $5,000 in attorneys' fees. He also took the unusual step of requiring general manager Neil McFarlane to submit an affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that the agency was complying.

MY COMMENT:
I worked there for 15 years. The last 5 years of my employment there I was actively blogging about my experiences there.

I'm no longer employed there, the same information I could get for free as an employee they attempt to charge $1700 for now.

If that's not intentional obstructionism I don't know what is.

It took them 3 months to respond to my request for Fred Hansen's pension amount of 16k.

And the people doing this 'audit' are attempting to say Trimet is doing a good job?

I call the report nonsense.
