Delving deeper into Mayor Rick Green's submission to the ALC is proving to be very interesting. Take this one entitled, "REQUEST TO THE AGRICULTURAL LAND COMMISSION" once again:
"Our committee on behalf of our community urges the ALC to consider all our arguments..."
What committee is this? We checked the membership list of the Milner Community Association and Mayor Rick Green appears nowhere on it. So, it now appears that a secret committee was formed by the mayor to fight the will of Township Council. You may also recall that Mayor Rick Green decided to hold his first two "Mayor's Meetings" at the Milner Community Chapel Hall coincidentally before and after the 64th Avenue overpass.
Township funds paid for two costly ads in both The Langley Times and The Langley Advance. These ads wasted space by running a large old photo of Mayor Green (yes, that one which looks nothing like him but he orders all to use). Apparently this costly advertising paid with taxpayer dollars was to promote a secret committee comprised of Mayor Rick Green and some loyal supports. Should the mayor be paying us back for these costly ads out of his personal pocket? We think so!
Did Mayor Green use Township meeting rooms and staff time with this secret committee to fight Council? Take a good look at the documents we posted in our first article on the mayor's submission to the ALC. Minus the Township letterhead (with the mayor's old photo on it again), you can see the letter follows the same format used on official Township letters. Indeed, the very first slide with photos are clearly photographs used on the large screens in Council meetings and in official Township publications. Did Mayor Green get written permission from the copyright holders to use these photographs for his secret committee work?
Is the Mayor of the Township of Langley legally allowed to form a secret committee to act behind the backs of a properly elected Council, with the chief aim of this committee to overthrow the will of said Council? We think Mayor Green needs to put the big ego aside and address these issues and promptly issue a reimbursement of costs to the taxpayers and PRONTO.
During our research we found this gem from Councillor Kim Richter's blog dated February 10, 2006. We gather that the Milner Community, led by the Milner Greens warmed her little heart and caused her to change her opinion of Milner?
"You know that neat looking little church on Glover in Milner? Well, you better. Your Township Council on Page 3 agreed to spend your tax dollars to the tune of $132,000. Add this to the previous $400,000 given to the Milner Community Association and you now have invested well over half a million dollars for a heritage building. Good or bad investment? You decide."

VALTAC has lost total respect from me. Lockwood should be pushing for lite rail in the valley not bitching about overpasses. He looks petty and foolish for being a part of this and it is hypocritical when he wants to run transportation corridors through other actually productive farmland in Langley Abbotsford and Chilliwack.
Bad Poetry returns!
This mayor is a fraud of note,
He lied to get elected at the last vote,
He now tries to get his way,
By working all angles illigitimate be they.
He takes his cues from but a few,
Who have an agenda through and through,
They play him like a fiddle,
And he hasn't the guts to get out from the middle.
As taxpayers we can only hope, That he implodes like a cheap joke.
As folks learn and see him operate,
He is a one term mayor that sure ain't great.
The Pams, Roys, Russes and others must decide,
If having this kind of leadership is one of pride,
Our community is suffering a great deal,
As this man loses his sense of appeal.
