As I suspected, after yesterday's Star story about the Toronto District School Board's outrageous demand for $3.6 million to release work order information related to the costs incurred in their exclusive contract with Jimmy Hazel's maintenance and construction skilled trades council, the board is singing a different tune today:
The Toronto District School Board is revising its $3.6 million estimate to provide data for a Star investigation.
How much the fee will drop is unclear, but a top official said the board is committed to finding a way to release the information.
“I am confident we will find a solution,” board education director Chris Spence said Thursday.
Let us hope that Spence, a man who is never short on bromides and platitudes, is not engaging in politically expedient posturing here.
Given The Star's journalistic tenacity, I'm sure we'll soon find out.
