Former Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan is staying mum over rumours of a possible BC Liberal nomination bid in Vancouver-False Creek.
Sullivan did drop a hint something will be announced soon, “Oh, I am really focused on the public salons and I am just working hard and I will be putting my mind to other things tomorrow and especially on Friday. I think I might have a good idea on Friday.”
Lorne Mayencourt is also rumoured to be interested in the nomination.
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson wishes Sullivan well, “I wish him the best. You know, anyone that jumps into politics, particularly for a second round you know, deserves credit.”
If successful, Sullivan could face Constance Barnes in the spring election, “I have known Sam Sullivan for years and I do have great respect for Sam Sullivan.”
Barnes also has to win the NDP nomination. She is facing Matt Toner. A prominent Vancouver City Councillor says his main concern about BC’s new watchdog for municipal governments was who’s paying her salary.
Now that’s been settled, so Raymond Louie says he’s confident Basia Ruta won’t find anything wrong with how this city is run, “City of Vancouver, I know, is well run and we just were confirmed by our credit rating agencies. Our information is clear and transparent. This just is an example of how Vancouver is well run, but let’s see what the auditor comes up with.”
Meanwhile, NPA Councillor George Affleck says he’s hoping the new Auditor-General will force the Vision Vancouver dominated Council to be more transparent.
