Lars says bloggers are reporters, Trimet says they are not

We all know that Trimet officials don't consider myself and Lane Jensen 'reporters'. They have publicly stated so. As a 'public agency' that don't have the right to make those sort of determinations but we all know this is Trimet and they make their own laws as they go and there is no way to hold them accountable short of actually finding some sort of obvious fraud which I am sure is not likely. Everything is well hidden in complex contracts and revolving doors between places like CH2MHILL.
