hopeful says thanks

Dear Editor:

I would like to thank the many
thousands who supported me and
voted for me at the Nov. 19
municipal election in the District
of North Vancouver.

During the 1988 municipal cam-
paign, | had the pleasure of walk-
ing through every neighborhood
and visiting every second home in
our community. I met so many
fine people, earned their respect
and in turn received more votes
than any other first-time alder-
manic candidate in the 97 year his-
tory of the district. Having talked
with so many people and having
seen as much as I did, I cannot but
respect the collective wisdom and
fine character of our community.

On election night I won a seat
on council with a slim plurality of
18 votes. This is a fitting tribute to
the fine character of our com-
munity — willing to support
change and look to the future.

With the official recount I lost
by five votes. You can rest assured
that I will run again in 1990 and
win again.

I decided against a judicial re-
count because I feel a judicial re-

count would be a drawn-out and
complicated battle that would
ultimately find its way to the
highest court in B.C. A judicial
review would cost both myself and
the taxpayers in our community a
great deal of time and money. It is
in the best interest of the com-
munity that - accept the official
recount and let the council and our
district staff get on with their
work.

I wish council and district staff
every success in the next two years,
in particular her Worship Marilyn
Baker who has publicly indicated
she is serving her final term as
mayor.

With so many important issues
confronting us, you can rest
assured that I will continue to take
an active role in our community’s
affairs. The mayor nas appointed
me to the District's Advisory
Planning Commission.

Have a Merry Christmas, and a
happy and safe new year. Once
again, thank you for your support.
We will meet again in 1990 if not
sooner.
