For those who did not see this final portion of last nights candidate forum
C-Tran, Steve Stuart, Tim Leavitt have lied to us, denied us a promised vote, and have shown they do not care what you and I think, struggle through or how inefficiently they operate C-Tran, we’re just endless deep pockets to those who squander what we send them.
They have Millions in reserve, scheduled some $500,000 for a new administrator for more studies, spend a few thousand more to travel to a convention looking over the latest in electric trains and seeking new creative ways to dig deeper into our pockets, all before we are granted the ‘privilege’ of voting on how they plan to waste even more of our hard earned monies.
They announce staff reductions, but their own pamphlets indicate union employees still receive wage increases, while many in Clark County wonder what will happen when unemployment benefits run out and no job prospects exist.
They have engaged in fearmongering, threatening to reduce the most needed portion of the service while allowing routes that have few riders to remain untouched.
3 past votes indicating taxpayers do not want Portland’s light rail are ignored while a small band of ruling class elites say it is coming anyway and you will pay for it no matter what. The Democratic process has been tossed into the trash can by this ruling class monarchy who has decided their ideas are all that matters and you and I should just shut up and accept that we are peons to do their bidding.
C-Tran doesn’t really need more tax dollars to continue this inefficient service. They need to reorganize and begin actually managing, not just expecting more and more that many of us do not have. They need to be reminded that they, along with Leavitt, Stuart and other council members comprising the C-Tran Board, work for us, we are not their underlings.
Proposition 1 must be defeated if we are to begin restoring any notion of a democratic process in Clark Process. Vote NO on Proposition 1 and any measure even remotely related to C-Tran until they begin to get the message that we are not living here just to do their bidding.
Enough is enough with the monarchy putting their demands on us, the struggling taxpayers enduring over two years of double digit unemployment.
Vote NO on Proposition 1.
