Trimet corporate pork barrel welfare from yesterday’s meeting

I don’t think anything pisses me off more than seeing this kind of corporate excess welfare, it’s really very upsetting

$3.2 million “pass through” for “certain projects”

Another $1 million because someone went bankrupt. Your tax dollars at work being given away like candy while the masters hassle us over $2.50

Extra $2 million for these guys With the usual excuses

$700k for CH2Mhill-a favorite- this time it’s ‘unexpected challenges’. What a farce

How many times are ‘they’ gonna fix the steel bridge signals and who needs competitive bidding?
