Cut MAX? Nope, how dare we cut MA...Let's see.<br /><br />Cut MAX? Nope, how dare we cut MAX.<br /><br />Cut management? Nope, those managers are essential.<br /><br />Cut Streetcar subsidies? No, we have a "contract".<br /><br />Cut WES? It needs more time to gain ridership.<br /><br />So...ladies and gentlemen, I present to you TriMet's Official Budget Process:<br /><br />1. Are there any new buses on order? If so, cancel the order.<br /><br />2. Are there still bus lines in existence? Cut them (unless cutting them would result in a mandated reduction in TriMet's taxing district, then leave them in place.)<br /><br />3. Keep doing #1 and #2 until there is not a single bus owned or operated by TriMet.<br /><br />4. If #3 is accomplished, then declare bankruptcy or find some other process to remain solvent. Under no circumstances shall any non-bus options be considered.Erik H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14754458674336580085noreply@blogger.com
