Fresh off their multi-billion-dollar love-fest with light rail
construction and their simultaneous cannibalization of bus services,
Tri-Met has decided that their managers need yet another boost in pay. So, where are they going to find the money? Well, for starters, they're going after old folks and disabled people.

TriMet proposes increasing honored
citizen fares by 20 percent to $1.25, with monthly passes climbing $2 to
$28. Honored citizen tickets are purchased by riders older than 65,
people on Medicare and people with mental or physical disabilities.
TriMet announced that the budget will
include the third pay increase in six years for non-union employees.
Workers in that category will see a wage increase of up to 3 percent
based on performance and overall compensation.
Oh, but you'll also get better light rail performance! How cool is
that? More gang-bangers riding for free on more trains to expand their
turf. Somebody, somewhere, might even get a new bus to ride. On the
backs of old or disabled people. Stay classy!Post from Max Redline
