The Missing Women inquiry has now heard a former Vancouver Police Chief talk about clashes he had with City Hall, over money needed to track a serial killer in the Downtown Eastside.
“They wouldn’t fund us outside of our regular yearly budget.”
The words of Terry Blythe, who says former city manager Judy Rogers and former Mayor Philip Owen said “No” to funding a joint task force with the RCMP.
Blythe says he was “pretty disgusted” by that.
He also says he went out on a bit of a limb, creating some expenditures that were not approved, and ended up getting “chewed out” by the mayor.
Blythe was also critical of the provincial government for not funding a DNA data bank.
