A r Transfer it Rankin hits Mayor's r| Itesponsible tactics silence because he didn’t have it all his own way,” Rankin said that the Mayor of Vancouver has a duty to both Council and the people, That duty is to give leadership, The place to give leadership is at meetings of the City Council, “Here is where the mayor should propose action and give Council the benefit of his knowledge and advice on the topic under discussion, Here is where he should declare himself and let all citizens know where he stands on each issue,” Rankin charged that the Mayor “sits like a bump on a log™ at Council meetings and ignores discussion and motions and acts as if they were of no concern to him, but once out of Council, where he doesn’t have to debate his policies, he regains his power of speech, “To me his attitude seems completely irresponsible, an in- sult to City Council and to Van- couver, . .Vancouver citizens have a right to demand some- thing better of their Mayor. Either he should speak up in Council, which is what we would all like him to do, or he should shut up when he gets out, This takes a sense of political re- sponsibility but we have a right to expect this of the city’s chief magistrate,” concluded Rankin, TED HARRIS. | 757 East Hastings St. Vancouver 4.
