[Busriders-van] RE: Voting record of all Translink board

[Darren Abramson]

Exactly Mae; that is why I am advocating that ALL members of the TransLink
Board (during last spring/summer's lock-out/strike) be "FIRED" from their
(ir)respective city councils, and by extension, the GVRD and TransDINK!

The following were members of the board during AT LEAST part of last
summer's events:

George Puil (Vancouver), Chair during the lock-out/strike
Gordon Price (Vancouver)
Jennifer Clarke (Vancouver)
Kiichi Kumagai (Richmond)
Meghan Lahti (Port Moody), NOTE:  During the Tri-City "It's Time To Choose"
'community input' meeting, Lahti did NOT show up!
      Only Puil and Pat Jacobsen, CEO, attended.  As a resident of the
Tri-City area myself, I considered this a slap in the face as it
      convinced me that Lahti was not interested in what her constituents
had to say!!!
Doug McCallum (Surrey), Chair at present
Helen Sparkes (New West)
Pat Jacobsen, (CEO -- Not elected)
Doug Drummond (Burnaby)
MacLean (Pitt Meadows) -- I do not know the first name
Wood (West Vancouver) -- Do not know the first name
Grinnel (Langley)
Hunt (Surrey)

LET'S WORK TO ENSURE THAT NONE OF THESE POLITICIANS (except Jacobsen, who is
not an elected politician) ARE RE-ELECTED TO THEIR (IR)RESPECTIVE CITY
COUNCILS, THE GVRD, AND TRANSLINK!!!!!  It's time to show them what happens
to unaccountable politicians.

  I agree that we need to get a record of all the votes from the Translink
Board from last year especially.

  I am especially interested in the actual voting record of Doug Drummond,
the mayor of Burnby, Don McLean the mayor of Pitt Meadows. There's many of
them like the mayors of West Vancouver and Langley who saw themselves and
their constiuents as somehow not implicated in the transit issue, but Helen
Sparkes, the mayor of New West and Drummond and McLean (and Hogarth from
Maple Ridge) should be held accountable for the positions they took last
year.

  I know Jim said he had a disk with all the minutes on it, but does anyway
have just a tally of the voting records?


    Remember though that Puil wasn't the only one.  We need to communicate
with the suburbs.
