]]> Comment on TriMet: a public agency with no elected officials by Thomas http://pdxme.com/2009/06/trimet-a-public-agency-with-no-elected-officials/comment-page-1/#comment-577 Thomas Thu, 24 Dec 2009 23:47:27 +0000 http://pdxme.com/?p=211#comment-577 This is an interesting way to allocate political power. The Governor is a politician of state wide significance whereas TriMet and LTD have jurisdiction over only a fraction of Oregon. It strikes me as odd how a state wide leader has to ability to directly influence the actions of these local agencies. I personally tend to favor the governorence of communities over the leadership of governments. TriMet and LTD should have influence on Salem not the over way around. Although maybe theres some complications between transit agencies and their state governments that inhibit the allocation of power to their districts.

The office of the governor works with TriMet and LTD in Lane County to appoint board members to each respective board. State Senator Bill Morrisette (D - Springfield) has been an advocate in trying to get these board members directly elected by the people, but to no avail. You’re correct!

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the governor of Oregon appoint the chief officer of TriMet?

This is unacceptable and I'm submitting that with my comments as well. Thanks for the insight!

This article covers many fine points that are not often topics of consideration at the CRC meetings. The best think i think any of us can do is make sure our neighbors know about this project. There just is not much reason to spend so much money and make everyone miserable! way to get involved!
