Meet You At The Plaza

Here's the whole bit from CKNW Radio re: James Green's statement that Sam Sullivan offered to help him get his office back in the Plaza of Nations early in the Vancouver Election Campaign.


Green's Office

VANCOUVER(CKNW/AM980) - Was it a friendly gesture or a political game?

Independent candidate for the Vancouver mayor's chair James Green is shedding some light on accusations that Mayor-elect Sam Sullivan helped with his campaign.

James Green says he scouted out a campaign office at the Plaza of Nations himself. Sam Sullivan had nothing to do with it.

But in mid-September for no apparent reason, they were asked to move.

Green says two weeks later, he ran into Sullivan at a Mayor's debate in North Vancouver.

"He said so I heard you got kicked out of your office and said yeah and he said you want me to make a call and see if I can get it back for you."

So was that just a friendly gesture by Sullivan or a strategic political move?

"At the time I thought that it may be a political gesture.

But you know I don't think that it was just friendly."

In any event, James Green never heard from Sullivan again and never re-gained his office in downtown Vancouver.


Sounds to me like Mr. Green just might be angling for something here.

Could that be the good ship "S.S. ChequeBook Journalism" we see emerging from the endless fog that has enveloped our fair city since Saturday Night?
