KOIN'S JEFF GIANOLA TAKES ON TRIMET EXECUTIVE PORK AND SECRET RAISES

 This is a list of all the stories and commentary on the KOIN hard hitting investigation on Trimet Pork and the executive raises that were handed out at the exact same time that those same executives cut bus service to low income riders!

The series created a fire storm with Trimet denying responsibility (did you expect anything else from them) and numerous Trimet fans screaming "unfair" because of various technicalities.

The bottom line on Gianola's report is it exposed wasteful and bloated executive  management  at the Portland transit agency. 

It is one of the absolute best investigative series on Trimet in the history of television reporting on the subject.

Mcfarlane dragging down Trimet into oblivion

This man has done so much damage, has acted with so much arrogance, its absolutely astounding.
The board of directors has shown over and over they care nothing about the public or the employees of Trimet.
It's a scene from a Fellini movie its so absurd. Yet there he sits, still in charge.
He has wandered into fraud territory by yanking raises out of the contingency budget.
The man has the ethic of an international banker, all about him and his circle of hacks.
This is a list of all the most recent articles:
