SUPPOSE THEY called a rally and nobody

came.

That was the story Thursday morning when
North Vancouver-Burnaby Rhinoceros candidate
Phil Marsh staged a rally for concerned citizens
and bus drivers anxious to get the transit system

operating again.

The problem was that only
a few people turned up.

That didn’t stop Marsh
from telling the small group
he still intends to present
petitions with over $00
Signatures (to the Seniors
Without Any Transit
(SWAT) to be used in their
drive to start the buses runn-
ing again.

“‘IU’s obvious that by the
thousands that didn’t turn
up here today, that the
public is not in the public
transit system anymore,”’
said Marsh. ‘‘I’ve talked to
hundreds of drivers and they
want to go back to work. |
hope to meet privately with
both inside and outside tran-
sit workers early next week
to discuss the situation.’’

In other campaign news,
Marsh says his platform now
includes tax incentives for
new, small businesspeople,
as well as offering a decrease
in the amount of federal
taxes on existing smal}
businesses.

‘*l would like to imple-
ment a program hke they
have in Houston, Texas,
where no federal taxes are
paid during the first two
years of a small business’
start up,’’ says Marsh. ‘‘It
wouldn’t matter what the
business category was —
there would also be no fed-
era] tax on goods sold, or on
goods purchased for
business purposes.”’
