The dickhead won't let C-Tran out of the contract

And why would he? C-Tran gave away the store to Trimet. Anybody who voted in favor of that contract should be sent packing but as we know, most people couldn't care less about mass transit so the public is basically apathetic to the whole deal.


The contract includes language allowing for termination by one party "as a result of a material breach of an obligation" by the other. It also could be terminated if both parties sign a written agreement. But TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane indicated Tuesday his agency has no intention of doing so.
In a letter to C-Tran board members, McFarlane noted several milestones the shuttered CRC would have to reach for the contract to come into play, but he appeared to hold out hope they may happen someday.
"For its part, TriMet views the agreement as valuable and important to retain in the event that those milestones are achieved and a viable project emerges from future bi-state discussions," McFarlane wrote. "Given this view, TriMet will take no action to formally terminate the agreement."
