    Actually NO, this position has nothing to do with transit delivery and should be eliminated completely.

    What was Clark's pension and number of years worked again? Like $70,000 a year for the rest of her life based on a 10 or 15 year Trimet career, right?

    Amazing how the Trimet oligarchs continue to piss on the riders and union workforce and tell them it's raining! Monster pensions for the oligarchs, fare increases for the riders, and benefits/pension cuts for the frontline workers? Smells like tyranny...
