The Second Time Is the Charm

|

In Portland, Oregon, the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District has fired bus driver Lachen Qouchbane after a passenger filmed him apparently reading a Kindle while driving his bus. It's the second time the transportation agency has fired Qouchbane. He was fired in 2006 for pushing a passenger off a bus, but his union appealed the firing and an arbitrator reinstated him.
