Tigard city officials call light-rail measure a compromise
An initiative that failed this past summer would have created a ballot measure that would have prohibited Tigard from spending money on a new light-rail line.

Clackamas County residents won’t renege on light rail contribution (though they’d like to)
At its business meeting yesterday, the Board of Commissioners rejected the vote. Not exactly surprising: when I spoke to them a couple weeks ago, county staff seemed pretty confused that the commissioners would even schedule a meeting to talk about taking a county-wide vote, since they had already signed an Intergovernmental Agreement with TriMet and it was pretty much too late to go back.
