A Langley Record EditorialRecently we praised Mayor Rick Green for what appeared to be a turning of the page on past flexing of his ego and the I problems that has haunted him in the recent past. We at The Record thought we could stick to the issues at hand and retire the Raging Bull reports. Well, guess again.
Green's family raises horses, runs a riding instruction school, etc. No issues with that. However, Mayor Green recently summoned a certain female community leader to his office for a meeting related to some promotional brochures that her group produced. They help market Langley to the urban and rural lovers from all parts of our province and country.
Apparently Mayor Green feels it necessary to constantly scrutinize and micro-manage the police, Township staff and now, a community organization and their director. Despite the fact that this female executive is NOT a Township staff member, Mayor Green decided to pick her apart for what the mayor viewed as her group not promoting Langley's horse community and events enough to the mayor's liking.
We have it on very good sources that this female executive (who only has the interests of the community at heart) was reduced to tears as Mayor Green became raging bull and tore a strip off this fine member of our community. Yes folks, tears. Can you believe the arrogance of this mayor to tell the police, staff and now civic groups, how to do their jobs? They are the experts and this grocery manager thinks he can do it all better than they??
The Editorial Board of the Langley Record met today over some coffee and several of us wonder what Langley's feminist champion Councillor Kim Richter thinks about all this. Does Richter support this cruelty and abussive behaviour against female professionals? Do tell us Maddam, we are so waiting to hear from you.
