Vision Vancouver mayoral candidate Allan De Genova seems to be sparing no expense on hiring workers for his campaign. According to a posting on the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition's Website, "Al’s campaign is offering $15/hour to those who work to sign up memberships." By comparison, a craigslist advertisement placed earlier this month states competitor Gregor Robertson is paying $12 per hour to his outreach campaigners. The following is a complete copy of that earlier advertisement.

"Do we continue to have a city government that runs the city using the current top down, divisive style? Or do we find a better way and elect a Mayor and Council who understand that solutions are found by engaging all citizens in meeting the challenges that we all share. A Mayor and Council who understand that government works for the people who elected it."
