The series created a fire storm with Trimet denying responsibility (did you expect anything else from them) and numerous Trimet fans screaming "unfair" because of various technicalities.
The bottom line on Gianola's report is it exposed wasteful and bloated executive management at the Portland transit agency.
It is one of the absolute best investigative series on Trimet in the history of television reporting on the subject.

About that KOIN report and the apologists
Trimet executives, you can be proud of yourselves as being the living image of greed, gluttony,selfishness and avarice.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about you guys. As long you guys get what you need the rest of the people are irrelevant. Steal from the public, put your critics in jail, make up phony stories, you don't care at all.
After all, you have carte blanch from our governor who grew up with a lot of you and hails from the same group as you guys do.
You'll all retire rich, meanwhile your union employees will have to eat shit.
Sleep well execs you belong to that special class of people who don't believe in the law of cosmic justice. You think what you have will last you for eternity. Good luck with that.
