I really enjoyed Lane's Twitter posts, and the responses, about TriMet's finances. It's as close as I've seen to a detailed public discussion about TriMet's expenditures. We need more people, like Lane, who bring this kind of attention to the dubious financial practices of the TriMet board and executives.
Many of those expenditures are explainable and have known services rendered for them.
1st is presumably retirement or salary payments, 2nd may be for Porta potty or fence rental, 4th for weight loss programs, 7th for LIFT backup rides, last for Transit Mobility Center rent.
