HOW MUCH ARE TRIMET EXECUTIVES MAKING? HERE IS THE COMPLETE LIST
http://www.box.net/shared/static/7jvke8u7r3.pdfTHIS IS MORE THAN A LITTLE SHOCKING TO THINK ABOUT.
TRIMET is functioning as a cash cow!
Who are all these people and do we really need them?
Adelaide Thinkers in Residence.
"The Thinkers undertake residencies of 2 - 6 months, in which they assist South Australia to build on its climate of creativity, innovation and excellence. The Thinkers provide the State with strategies for future development in the arts and sciences, social policy, environmental sustainability and economic development."
As stated above, these people are here to assist South Australia!
Obviously they should pay the whole cost for whoever they decide is worthy of being named to their program.
The people of Oregon should not have to shell out ONE DIME TO SEND FRED HERE!
And it clearly says 2-6 months, so it appears Fred may be lying once again.

Thinker In Residence Fred Hansen to ponder Adelaide transport
ADELAIDE'S next Thinker in Residence will put the city's public transport system under the microscope.
Transport Minister Patrick Conlon today announced Fred Hansen, the general manager of transport provider TriMet in Portland, Oregon, will begin in October.
Mr Conlon said Mr Hansen's experiences would help South Australia implement its next phase of public transport projects and would influence the state's first transport-oriented development at Bowden.
"Mr Hansen's home town of Portland is internationally recognised as one of the finest exponents of a sustainable and integrated public transport system," he said.
"In particular we are looking to benefit from Mr Hansen's expertise in the provision of higher-density development along transport corridors as we pursue a more liveable and sustainable city."
Last week's Federal Budget announced support for extensions of the Gawler and Noarlunga rail lines and another $61 million to gives O-Bahn buses priority in the city.
Mr Hansen will take over from Professor Laura Lee, who has focused on the integrated design of cities.
