City hall's list of the un-willing leaked

BOB MACKIN, 24 HOURS

Number 12 is not a bad number. Vancouver Canucks’ legend Stan Smyl’s number 12 hangs from the rafters at Rogers Arena. Someday the B.C. Lions should retire quarterback Dave Dickenson’s number 12. Someone at city hall thinks I’m a number 12, according to a leaked list of nattering nabobs of negativism and vile vexers of Vision Vancouver. 24 hours’ columnist Mike Klassen tops the list and his CityCaucus.com partner Daniel Fontaine is number three. Second place belongs to Alex G. Tsakumis, whose eponymous blog revealed the list. Global TV’s Marisa Thomas and The Province editor Wayne Moriarty are numbers four and five. CKNW’s Christy Clark, Jill Bennett and Janet Brown occupy six through eight. Next are Vancouver Sun’s Jeff Lee, ex-BCTV reporter Harvey Oberfeld, Georgia Straight editor Charlie Smith and me, lowly number 12. Mayor Gregor Robertson and city manager Penny Ballem, why didn’t I make the top 10 and what can I do to climb the ladder? This demands explanation!
