Rick Green and Kim Richter have just cost the Township of Langley a whole lot more. First, they got their Standing Committee on Finance to conduct a witch hunt that wasted many hours of staff overtime. All for nothing. No evidence of wrongdoing, bad financial practices, etc. were uncovered. Worse yet, no one will tell the public how much this 9 week witch hunt cost the taxpayers in staff time and overtime. How much was that Rick and Kim?
Next, despite public engagement in 2004 & 2005 on the overpass, as well as ALC documented receipts of input from the local community as outlined in a memo, Rick Green and Kim Richter once again squandered taxpayers dollars to hold two open houses and a public input session with council. Next, the mayor vowed to bring this all back up again in the next council meeting of 23 March so that the slate's NDP buddy can grandstand to the love fest, along with the usual cast of unhappy Green-Richter Slate supporters.
Pre-event work, advertising, story boards, hall rental, staff time and more. How much did all that cost the taxpayers of the Township of Langley? Mayor Green and Councillor Richter need to fess up and tell us very clearly how much that financial witch hunt and the extra public engagements cost us, and they need to do so now.
As for the two open house events, they were hi-jacked by VALTAC and therefore the ToL should be charging all those costs back to VALTAC and the Green-Richter slate insiders that it benefitted. The general public was squeezed out of this process because of the hijacking. VALTAC and the malcontents should be made to pay for these expenses. We are all for democracy, but we are not in support of programs benefitting only friends and insiders. The motley crew live in the mayor's office many times per week and the slate is clearly trying their best to manipulate this overpass outcome. All for the benefit of friends and insiders.
The local publicists are silent and you won't read it anywhere else folks. In fact, they are trying their best to shut us down and silence democracy with idle threats of investigations, law suits, wrongful accusations of libel and slander and a host of other very dirty tricks. But this is the way that slate operates. It's OK to attack Ferguson, Ward, Fox, Bateman and others, just don't reveal the truth about their slate members and bootlickers, as that is pushing the democratic process. How hypocritical! But what else would one expect from NDP supporters and loving sympathizers?

As a Langley taxpayer I would love to know how much these two have cost us. They truly are out of control and their wreckless spending habits show that. we know the truth will come out. Transperancy has been lacking for sure - fortunately Rick and Kimmy are sealing their own fate one issue at a time.
I know about this issue, that was S*** P******, the same one who complained to the SUN I hear. Also soon to announce her candidacy on Ricky's slate of losers for the next election. They haven't figured it out yet, negativity brings a negative vote. I hope S***** gets nailed with using VALTAC's signature during and election as an unregistered Elector Organization. Maybe she will threaten someone to a fight at the next mayor's forum. I do see Valtac is now very political when I read their blog. I guess they are giving up on the light rail issues and leaving that to the much more forward-thinking group at ******. Peter H***, Roy, Lee ***., Eric (who am I) B***** and the crowd have lost all meaningful support for their initiatives due to their newly released political panderings. Of course this has been in the works for some time and they thought that throwing out S**** P***** would help them. Time to fold the tent boys and move on! --Anonymous
EDITED BY LANGLEY RECORD EDITOR #1 - We agree with you, but too many names of the usual players. We are hoping the RCMP uses the materials provided to them. That will make it all clear to the average citizen.
I guess if the complaint is in the RCMP's hands then maybe SHE will shut-up before SHE puts her foot in her mouth so deep she can't get it out!
PS SHE was a School District Trustee wasn't SHE? SHE should have known the process to get details on campaign expenditures from HER years at that position....it only now becomes an issue - lazy, lazy, lazy!
When you do not like the message shoot the messenger. It is the Kim Richter way.
I will take a professional poll over Wally's phone calls every day of the year.
Rickim are pros at two things wasting time and spending money.
Plus ignoring democracy. OK that is three things.
