Something happening that nobody's explaining properly? A document somebody buried? A thing everyone in your area knows about and no outlet has touched?
Tell us. You don't need to be a writer, you don't need proof, and you don't need to know if it's a story — that's our job to work out. Send what you've got and we'll take it from there.
