A port authority versus a storm

Steve Simpson, the Non-Partisan Association's ad man during the last civic election, isn't sure whether he'll be packing his bags for the next campaign trial. In an interview with Public Eye, Mr. Simpson - the chairman and chief strategist for Vancouver-based Identity Mangement Inc. - explained, "I'm on the horns of a dilemma because I'm on the board of the Vancouver Port Authority. And, as a federal entity, it would be frowned upon for me to take an active role in any political activities." But the amalgamation of that board with the Fraser River and North Fraser port authorities means Mr. Simpson may loose his appointment. As a result, he says, "If I'm able to (campaign) as a result of the unfortunate event of not making it back onto the board, I probably will get involved. If I do stay on the board, I know I can't. And my foot is twitching because I love elections. But I'm also loving what I'm doing on the ports at the same time."
