It tells us a lot about the state of the race

What happened: Mayor Ken Sim registered two complaints to the integrity commissioner against OneCity Coun. Christine Boyle.
Sharing a vote: The first alleged she breached the code of conduct by sharing her vote from an in-camera meeting publicly — these meetings are held in private — noting that she voted against cancelling the living wage policy, according to Vancouver is Awesome. The complaint was filed on March 7 and it cost her $7,000 in legal fees to fight.
If you've read this far, you probably get something out of Vancity Lookout — and I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm Geoff, the founder. Here's the honest version of how this works: every story you read here is reported by a small team and funded almost entirely by the few hundred Vancouver readers who've decided this kind of journalism is worth paying for. No hedge fund owners. No clickbait quotas.
Just neighbourhood reporting that takes time to do properly — the VPD budget, the Broadway Plan, the Downtown Eastside, city hall on the days nobody else shows up.
If you want to read more of this, and you can afford it, the most useful thing you can do is become a member. It's how the next story gets written
Together, we can rebuild local neighbourhood news in Vancouver.
