Dave - 
I am glad that Bloomberg finally picked up the revolving door issue. The
case is a damning example of egregious complicity by our federal safety
agency between 2004 and 2007.

ABC's investigation came out last week so Bloomberg is behind the times; the
information on the revolving door finally came to light because of
depositions in a lawsuit from a truly horrific crash. Here are two from ABC

-toyota-representative/story?id=9747342&page=1

7163

Until ABC exposed this, literally no mainstream media would give any time to
this. Here is a mid-January article from a safety group, debunking the floor
mat and gas pedal claims

se/

And this article was in a Kansas City paper on a whistleblower regarding the
issue - also weeks ago

And of course there is the NY Times article on Steve Wozniak's Prius that
followed this article in AutoBlog
