Township of Langley Council will meet tomorrow for the 4:00 pm Special Meeting and the 7:00pm Regular Meeting. The Special Meeting are always quiet, but usually contain good presentations, delegations and reports.
Tomorrow night's Regular Meeting of Council will see council chambers filled with the usual Mayor Rick Green Love Fest crowd that will be out in force for council's vote on the Mufford/64 Ave Overpass report from staff. The hallmark of this administration has been to service the needs of friends and insiders.
We shall see if Mayor Green does his job and keeps the meeting dignified and in order, as it should be. Since this mayor has taken office, professionalism and decorum have not been a hallmark, as he has allowed hooting, shouting, ongoing debate after delegations, and applause. All in what should be a civil meeting that is conducted decently and with proper order. But Mayor Green is no student of procedure and decorum for sure. The sideshows and allowing of sideshows just signal a total lack of respect for the office and the civil process. Watch for the carnival atmosphere folks, as the cotton candy salesman will be sure to greet his love fest at the doors upon entry.
It was interesting to note that Mayor Green had the Township page (ToL paid advertising) run a large picture of himself (yes, the 12 year old photo) on our dime, for his Mayor's Forum that was held (where else?), Milner Chapel Hall on Saturday. The very same advertising that both Green and Richter have complained about time after time. The next three Mayor's Forums will be held in the same place in Milner, so we have a before the Mufford Vote, and then two after. The rest of council knew what he was up to, so when he asked about a name for these meetings, council allowed the mayor to declare they are his meetings. We suspect as is the case with all of his hidden agenda items, that there will be little council participation. Why would you go as a councillor when it is clearly his game with the Love Fest groupies?

With the recent mixed signals from the Green-Richter Slate on open and closed doors meetings and such, it will be very interesting to see how Councillor Richter votes on the Mufford/64th Overpass. If she votes against the overpass this will be significant, as she will have fallen behind the mayor and his slate and she also will have flip=flopped on statements she made during the campaign.

I never thought Kooky Kim would be bullied into anything but here is the proof.
I was at the mayor's meeting in Milner and saw people yelling at each other, fingers being pointed and the mayor grinning like a cheshire cat.
It was another fine example of the Raging Bull's managerial style. Bully bully bully.
The Township as a whole has spoken time and time again......we need this overpass, I hope the Councillors are listening to us, the majority, we voted you in, do what is right and pass this project. We won't forget those who vote against it at the next election. We need the jobs as well.
