As the World Turns: Election Edition

This is just getting silly now.

Thursday's update from the Olympic Village loan saga is Vision Coun. Raymond Louie's terse reaction to a Global TV report that stops just short of blaming him in this political Whodunnit.

“Someone at city hall is maliciously putting out false information to the media in an attempt to destroy my reputation,” Louie told a Thursday afternoon news conference, as reported by my esteemed colleague Monte Paulsen at The Tyee. [Myself, I was at my desk ostensibly trying to work on a story about light rail. How foolish.]

“The story that aired at 6 p.m. last night on Global TV casts aspersions on me that are completely untrue,” Louie said. “I am considering legal action over the insinuation that I had any involvement with regards to Coun. Ladner’s in-camera document.”

Monte will have more on The Tyee tomorrow. The no-less esteemed Frances Bula also opines on this "bizarre twist."

"City managers are clearly leaking negative information about Vision councillors to the media," she writes. "Now city staff are getting embroiled.

"This can’t end well."

It can, however, end.

Who are you voting for?

Brutal. Two more days... I imagine we'll see a few new faces among the staff at city hall after the election.
