So what message will parks board commissioner Allan De Genova be delivering at his news conference tomorrow? Well, in an interview Public Eye, Mr. De Genova still wasn't saying whether he'd be joining Vision Vancouver. But, if the Non-Partisan Association thinks he's going to be slinging mud at them, they might want to think again. "That is absolutely not going to be the case at all. If that's how they think then that's probably very small of them to think that," said Mr. De Genova. In fact, the commissioner has assured association councillor Peter Ladner - who is expected to attend the news conference - that this won't going to be a "Sam-bashing" event. Other association elected officials set to show up include parks board members Ian Robertson and Marty Zlotnik. Mr. De Genova added Vision Vanouverities George Chow and Raymond Louie have said they'll also be there, along with Spencer Herbert and Loretta Woodcock from the Coalition of Progressive Electors.

He also confirmed Mayor Sam Sullivan did try to get a hold of him "about three times" over the last ten days. "And I equally tried - if not more times - to reach him." But they weren't able to connected. The commissioner said he's not sure why that was, given that "I heard from Kim Capri yesterday on the first call. And met with Ian Robertson and Marty Zlotnik. I met with half the NPA today."
