Will that include the entourage buying the Councillor expensive dinners, etc.? Can the entourage be separated form the Councillor? No. No Councillor at Sochi, no entourage. They are a piece. The conflict remains.<br /><br />Bill McCreery<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115390382388514565.post-86418280220296589562013-12-23T11:53:04.028-08:002013-12-23T11:53:04.028-08:00You are amazing, Jonathan.

Does Tim have to formally accept a cheque from Rennie, or to leave for Sochi, or what is the trigger that must occur for action to be initiated against him? Is there legal action planned, or a petition Vancouverites need to sign requesting Tim's removal? Thanks again for the service you have done Vancouverites in unearthing the legislation that reveals the illegality of Tim's plans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115390382388514565.post-15937739511967387002013-12-16T14:23:49.817-08:002013-12-16T14:23:49.817-08:00Mike,

If the payment is considered immoral but not illegal the Councilor remains on Council and has to answer to the voters. If it is illegal under the Charter, the Councilor can be removed from Council.<br /><br /> Jonathan Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851181681609124691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115390382388514565.post-56265894004335402392013-12-15T21:12:57.389-08:002013-12-15T21:12:57.389-08:00One must assume that the Vancouver Charter contemp...One must assume that the Vancouver Charter contemplated conflicts of interest. But for me, we don't need the Charter to help us on this one. To spin that they are saving the taxpayers money, and I might add, for a laudable pursuit, is insulting to all taxpayers. This council has pushed its ideology for the past five years in this City, next year, it will move to the world stage. One can only hope that these spinsters are coming to the end of their preaching.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794992774615884781noreply@blogger.com
