    It doesn’t sound like Doug McCallum plans to go quietly…

    According to a statement from his Safe Surrey Coalition, the incumbent mayor is not conceding the race as there is less than a 1000 vote difference between him and Mayor-elect Brenda Locke.

    Locke gathered 33,311 votes on Saturday night, while McCallum got 32,338.

    McCallum’s legal advisors are reviewing B.C.’s Local Elections Act on the process of ordering a judicial recount through the BC Supreme Court, the statement says.

    A major plank of Locke’s campaign was to roll back McCallum’s decision to cut ties with the RCMP and replace it with a municipal force.
