There's just some debate about who's going to pay for the continued cost increases, which weren't predicted when the contract was agreed to, as well as the legalities about it.<br /><br />Lastly, it's not TriMet's fault that their payroll tax revenues have gone DOWN even though the tax rate was increased, which also has led to reduced ridership and fares.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181700857407507016.post-77234385982077523902010-10-27T20:02:45.082-07:002010-10-27T20:02:45.082-07:00Amen brother!Amen brother!Al Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670275801784105978noreply@blogger.com
