Bob McClelland

Robert Howard McClelland (born November 2, 1933) is a former broadcaster, journalist and political figure in British Columbia.

[3] McClelland earned the nickname "Broadway Bob" from his opponents after a controversy arose in 1982 about a taxpayer-paid visit in 1980 to New York City.

The trip included tickets to a burlesque Broadway musical and costs for keeping a limousine on standby for ten hours at Plaza Hotel.

[5] On Nov. 27, 1987, McClelland was called by the defence to testify in the criminal trial of Top Hat's operator, Arlie Blakely, who faced 19 counts of offences related to prostitution.

McClelland retained his cabinet position until July 1986, when Bill Vander Zalm became the leader of the Social Credit Party and the Premier of B.C.
