THE REASON THERE IS A DEFICIT IS THAT THE 'GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE' BUDGET HAS BALLOONED

BREAKING NEWS: SAM NOT LEAVING

Just ran into Sam Desue, Jr., leaving a meeting and told him I heard he was leaving. He said that he has 2.5 years to go and to tell the people who think he is leaving that they are wrong. I wanted to ask to get him on video saying that but didn't know if that was doable.

Didn't really introduce myself and I don't think he really has seen me (unlike Fred or Neil).

They did get rid of some bureaucrats but they expanded the “strategy” bullshit pic.twitter.com/C82D6d5UXD

By the way “ operations” (actual service) is still less than 1/2 the budget. https://t.co/ub3IJZHgJC

Wait a minute. TriMet has a budget of $1.2 billion?

That’s more than the current budget! pic.twitter.com/bKJfM5ykA5

Here’s last year’s budget

This year’s it’s actually higher! https://t.co/OnKVMBHfYB

TriMet used to have things laid out clearly in nice pie charts like this

BUT NOT THIS TIME AROUND

this is a first

This is $20 million higher than last year!

Do I have dementia or something? I thought they were supposed to be cuts? pic.twitter.com/SDCYAr3WaE

Something must be wrong with my brain because the TRANSPORTATION BUDGET for this upcoming year is HIGHER than last year?

How’s that possible with service cuts? pic.twitter.com/cG80LFf3Rb

Touché TriMet, you figured out how I was able to bust through your bullshit and made it virtually impossible to compare this budget with last year’s budget!

But answer me this: why is this years budget HIGHER than last years budget when you are supposedly running a deficit? pic.twitter.com/qPtLfFRV2Z

Look at what these mofo’s have done!

They changed their pie chart so you can’t see the actual amount being spent per category
