Christy Clark didn't bus in her block voters on Saturday. Public Eye didn't see a single diesel-chugging engine was seen idling outside the Marriott Pinnacle. But there were a considerable number of black tops circling the hotel. The reason: the Vancouver Taxi Association, the industry group representing Terminal City's four major cabbie companies, was shuttling Clark campaign supporters to and from the nomination meeting. And why didn't they back her competitor Sam Sullivan, instead? Well, it might have had something to do with the fact the Vancouver city councillor tried unsuccessfully, on March 3, to increase the dual taxicab annual license fees from $321 to $940.
