This morning our Editorial Board alerted me to posts on an area political blog that will go unmentioned. The posts and comments from their editor and visitors accuse this blog of being affiliated in some way with a member of Township Council. They also suggest we are posting inappropriate comments and trying to post opinions and promote ourselves on their blog. We can tell you that all of these accusations are FALSE and baseless. We have no interest in this other blog and do not wish to be affiliated with it in any way. We have posted what we feel to be worthy links on our page and it seems that this other blog was left out for obvious reasons, mainly their lack of professionalism. Now they have sour grapes.
The Langley Record is receiving FACTS from various independent sources, and reporting these facts on this blog. Everything is vetted by our Editorial Board and yes, our solicitor. We live in a democracy and we have the right to publish the facts. We can do so even when these facts clash with the spin and slanted opinion of others. We have no interest in personal attacks on mayor and council, but we do plan to keep a running Report Card. We will take to task voting record and any obvious promotion of personal agenda that impact negatively on Township taxpayers. Enough said. Time to focus on the issues.

Good on you Editor! That other blog is anything but professional refusing to post certain posts that may in any way defame their star candidate and her lofty political aspirations. They were wrong on so many points leading up to the last election and since she has back pedaled significantly.....I hope the firefighters are watching and listening to her rhetoric. Her presentation on the 'Budget Orientation' is so biased it is unbalanced. Her blog is overrun by comments from 'farmzone' who must be her personal campaign manager. I welcome this new blog and top date your info posts are stellar.
