Mayor Searches for Another Cause

Our Editorial Board received info from our stringers regarding last night's Township of Langley Council meeting. It is very clear that Mayor Green is in search of causes to keep his political career alive.

We will expound on them move at a later time, but it appears that Green has taken a swipe at Parklane Homes for their Bedford Landing development. A development that has been very good at working with local residents and people who use the waterways. Despite all the good intentions they are not respected by a group of people that just cannot be pleased with anything this developer does.

As we previously blogged, Parklane has done so much and now Mayor Green bitch slapped them in last night's meeting in poor attempt to garner public support. What's more, Green suggested that a public hearing be moved from the Township facility at OUR expense, so this hearing could be done in Fort Langley. Public hearings come up all the time and involve neighbourhoods all over Langley. Should these meetings now become traveling circus shows to pander to voters? The Town Hall expenses are already covered. Why should taxpayers pony up more for sound equipment, facility rental, etc.??

Mayor Green voted against the budget and now he is wanting to eat off the buffet without paying for it once again. What will it take for this man to realize one has to approve a budget in order to spend the money? When will this man stop grabbing at straws hunting out issues in the community to attach himself to? This was his campaign strategy and now he continues to do this while in office. He was elected to serve and not to continue a political campaign.

Time to stop politicking and work! Enough with the vote pandering!
