Quoted from the LA TIMES:

Finals terms of Solow's contract, which will keep him at the agency full time until at least next June, were not available. But Katz said Solow would continue to receive his current pay, which is $220,000 a year.

Solow will report both to Haley, who is expected to earn slightly less than his predecessor, and the board. (emphasis added)

So he's being moved to a less-stressful position and he'll still get to keep his original salary of $220,000. And, get this: His successor, who will have more responsibilities than him, will be making LESS money!

Sheesh! If this is Metrolink's way of "firing" somebody, where do I sign up?

No wonder they're talking about cutting service and raising fares. That $220,000 has to come from SOMEWHERE! Money just doesn't grow on trees, ya know!

When, or if, Metrolink ever wants to get serious about some meaningful reforms (don't hold your breath -- we ARE talking about a taxpayer-fueled, out-of-control, answers-to-no-one "train wreck" here), they can start with the laughable manner in which they supposedly "fire" one of their officers.
