On Nov. 4, City of North Vancouver council passed a motion calling on future candidates to refrain from taking campaign donations from unions and developers. While the motion can't be legally enforced, it was aimed at freeing council from accusations that members' votes had been swayed by campaign cash. Those who voted against it argued that they vote with integrity, and raising funds is part of being in politics.
