Rob Ford announced his taxpayer protection plan yesterday at City Hall. The Globe’s Kelly Grant takes a look at what Mr. Ford is proposing in her blog.

The chorus of voices urging the GTA’s leaders to look at ways to fund Metrolinx’s Big Move continues to grow louder. See Megan O’Toole’s story Toronto needs ‘bold’ solution to gridlock problem: roundtable in the Post and the Star’s Royson James column No way to avoid paying — somehow — for transit.

Also read the Board of Trade’s discussion paper The Move Ahead for more information on the issue.
