From KXL.com, "Tri-Met unhappy with ads on buses"

Tri-Met is running ads from a controversial group and it doesn't even want to.

The ads are from YourGroceryWorkers.com; the group advocates for workers who have been fired from Fred Meyer. This type of advertising goes against Tri-Met's policy.

"Our intent is to allow advertising that is commercial in nature and we'd describe that as promotion of goods or services."

Drew Blevin said that policy is under legal review, so until it's resolved, Tri-Met has to allow the advertisements.

Melinda Merrill with Fred Meyer is upset the website bought these ads, but she doesn't know if they'll take any recourse. "I'm not sure what our response will be."
