Last December I sent an e-mail to Ben Spurr, transportation writer at The Star, to ask if he could dig into it since he's done a number of well researched pieces on Bombardier, the TTC, and Metrolinx.  Presumably he has the sources to come up with something good, and while I know he covers the GTA I thought that with the Metrolinx angle and a bunch of Star subscribers in our region he might just go for it anyway.  He didn't take the bait, I didn't even get a reply.  Unfortunately there's not a local reporter I have enough trust in to do the proper level of research.  Sad
