The fossil fuel industry’s influence in the Port of Vancouver Commission District 1 election didn’t end when Vancouver Energy contributed nearly a quarter-million dollars to the campaign fund of candidate Kris Greene.
Greene’s former campaign strategist Robert Sabo said when Vancouver Energy made its donations, industry and political insiders soon followed, and they directed how the company’s donations would be spent, who should work with the campaign and reshaped the campaign’s message.
“Big Oil is completely dictating where every penny is going,” Sabo said of the donations made by Vancouver Energy.
