DEAR MR KELSEY
Dear Mr. Kelsey,
I would love for this to be a ‘congratulations’ for a well deserved retirement. Unfortunately, with how COVID has been handled at this agency, especially regarding Operators…. I cannot.
TRIMET’S ZOMBIE LIGHT RAIL PROJECT
President Trump is not the only one refusing to accept election results. The general manager of TriMet, Doug Kelsey, is claiming that the $3 billion Tigard light rail project is still alive, even though Portland-area voters rejected a proposed funding measure by a wide margin last month.

TRIMET DEKE
Bus operators see the devastation of this pandemic. Every shift is a "reality show" that we'd rather not watch. Good people have lost jobs. Wages that are barely enough to sustain even the poorest accommodations have vanished. https://t.co/8cniVEKy2X

Kelsey, Mcfarlane's handpicked successor ,is heading back to Canada. He was basically a Mcfarlane clone. From my point of view he was nothing. He did nothing of consequence to bother mentioning.
Trimet head hack Bruce Warner said this to mainstream media:

TRIMET DEKE
Long ago in this blog, I outlined some Operator Math. Each 10-hour shift, a bus operator will press the air-brake pedal of a bus an average of 800 times. It's a repetitive motion which requires several times more pressure than doing so in a personal vehicle. Worker's Comp often insists our pain stems from "past injury" to management's fiscal delight. To our collective plight, it's pain built up from about 175,000 constant presses of the right foot. A human part that sees more work than any joint of a mouse-pusher's body who oversees our work.
"They find a lot of mistakes in the manual they have never experienced behind the wheel," an operator said to me this week. "Their idea of a 'mistake' is something we see as a necessary tool, to offset the reality that could happen if we don't do it."
