Circus Performers Gone Wild - No It's Not a Condom Commercial
Another Week of the Televised Rookie Mayor Rick Green Show
ToL Council will meet this Monday, March 23rd at 3:00pm and again at 7:00pm. A host of well-know circus performers from the slate' s Vocal 150 will be on hand to make their insulting and accusatory delegations, followed by a meeting that lacks all proper council decorum. Ringleader rookie Mayor Rick Green will once again allow the circus and sideshows to continue, with little to no calls to order.
NDP sacrificial lamb (MLA candidate Kathleen Stephany) will be present to follow in Councillor Richter's NDP footsteps of pandering to the Vocal 150 audience. Someone should remind Ms. Stephany that her new-found party (the NDP) actually initiated the whole GATEWAY PROGRAM discussions. The ROBERTS BANK RAIL CORRIDOR study (and resulting overpass proposal) facilitates the Gateway Project. Of course it is a well-known fact that the NDP could not get Gateway off the ground and the BC Liberal party is in the process of making Gateway a physical reality. Perhaps that is why Ms. Stephany and her NDP handlers are soo angry? Come out to chuckle at the hypocritical NDP delegation. But what else would you expect from them?
The evening council meeting is a televised one, and you can be sure this is why our side-show mayor initiated the overpass reconsideration motion for this particular meeting of council. Mayor Green will be purring like a Cheshire Cat with his motion to reconsider the overpass that is certain to be seconded by Kim Richter, followed by hoots and shouts from the Vocal 150, culminating into another centre-stage Township-dividing "Mayor's Report" that reminds council of the past election, complete with finger-pointing arrows at council for not supporting the platform that only the Green-Richter slate ran on. Come out to see the sideshow and bring plenty of cotton candy with you. Watch the rookie mayor in centre ring cater to the needs and wants of his Vocal 150, while failing to maintain decorum as usual.

It will be a zoo. I have been called three times by these people begging me to come out to the meeting.
It will be fun to see the Super Six hold steady and vote down Tricky Ricky, Kooky Kimmy, and their badgering bullies all over again.
Rick and Kim are so attached at the hip these days they need their own nickname. How about Rickim?
Rickim is making a farce of democracy these days.
Wake up LANGLEY - this Mayor and atleast one Councillor are making you all look foolish, their antics are noteworthy all over Metro Vancouver - they bring to life the term loonie Langley. Don't stand for these antics, write letters, make delegations do whatever to discredit these goofs. We need to get back community pride! Boot them out.
FYI,
As a matter of parliamentary practice Green and Richter cannot move a motion to reconsider. A motion to reconsider must be brought forward by one of the members who voted with the majority the last time.
Since they both voted in the minority they cannot move the motion.
Cheers,
Blair
Blair,
What you say here makes perfect sense. Except Green is invoking a section of the Community Charter that allows the mayor to bring a matter up for reconsideration within 30 days of a vote. Councillors have similar authority under a Township Bylaw.
BUT, you are correct in that according to parliamentary practice it would not be allowed. Maybe the Community Charter and this ToL Bylaws needs to be changed to be rational? --The Editor
