Happy New Year Erik Halstead

It's not easy being a Trimet critic. The 'cult of Portland' extends to Trimet too. That cult being how perfect and wonderful everything is here. The most perfect city in the entire world, at least that's what the propaganda machines crank out. And that  so many people really believe this astonishes me. In reality Portland is more of a joke around the country no thanks to that stupid show Portlandia that I never found particularly amusing.
In any event Erik has been a stalwart critic of Trimet's policies and has gotten his share of abuse from the on line crowd. 
I salute him for being able to take the pressure and stay true to his message. Here are all his posts from this past year.
