Metrolink's Board went overboard to silence her and paid for it with our tax and fare money.

Just how hard did Metrolink and its Board attempt to silence Tyrrell? Read this little gem from the settlement agreement.
(References to "the AUTHORITY", refer to Metrolink, i.e.the Southern California Regional Rail Authority)
The Paries agree that their professional and personal reputations are important and should not be impaired by either party. Therefore, DENISE A. TYRRLL, as an individual, and on behalf of herself, her heirs, executors, agents, attorneys and assignees, agrees not to disparage, discredit, defame or belittle, or induce others to disparage, discredit, defame or belittle the professional or personal reputation of the AUTHORITY, and each of its agents, employees, board members, administrators, successors-in-interest, offcers, directors, attorneys, insurers, assignees or member agencies, in any public forum whatsoever or to any third paries unless required either pursuant to a subpoena issued by a competent authority or an order issued by a court or trbunal of competent jurisdiction The AUTHORITY, and each of its agents, employees, board members, administrtors, successors-in-interest, officers, directors, attorneys,insurers, assignees or member agencies agree not to disparage, discredit, defame or belittle, or induce others to disparage, discredit, defame or belittle the professiona or personal reputation of DENISE A. TYRRLL in any public forum whatsoever or to any thrd paries, unless required either pursuant to a subpoena issued by a competent authority or an order issued by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction
Now isn't that a good use of our taxes and fare monies? Is it any wonder that Metrolink will be raising the fares, even though their fuel costs have dropped about 40% since the fare increase last year?
Comments anyone?
