Vancouver Mayor Delivers "State Of The City" Speech

February 01, 2006

Vancouver Mayor, Royce Pollard, made news last summer when he bought and then smashed two coffee mugs -- emblazoned with 'Portland' logos -- from a Vancouver Starbucks.

His aim was to show how sick and tired he is of Vancouver living in Portland's shadow. As Kristian Foden-Vencil reports, the mayor continued in a similar vein Wednesday with his state of the city speech.

The theme was 'Think Big' and he underlined the idea by saying Vancouver will continue to try to become Washington's second largest city -- by annexing 26 square miles of Clark County.
