Firstly, Mayor Green severely limited his own comments when he invited Kurt Alberts and Howie Vickberg to join him and council on the floor. Much more could have been said in praise, but Green remained silent. The audience did not hesitate in standing for Alberts because everyone there knew that Mayor Green had absolutely nothing to do with making the Langley Events Centre (LEC) happen, and in fact, did all he could (with his sidekick Councillor Kim Richter) to derail the LEC. Kurt Alberts greatly deserved the standing ovation and that is why the people responded with the outpouring. It had NOTHING to do with Rick Green.
Either Editor Bucholtz is smoking something strong, or his eyes of been seriously blinded by Mayor Green's constant calls to him and his publisher to bitch about his press or lack thereof. Did Bucholtz not see Mayor Rick Green totally ignore former Mayor Kurt Alberts at the Golden Ears Bridge ceremony on Sunday? Maybe Bucholts should have attended yesterday's council meeting to watch Green, Richter and Kositsky carry on past grudges by voting against borrowing for the Mufford/64th Overpass? Or should Bucky have been present for Green's vote against a Murrayville sustainable development yesterday that also dates back pre-election? Yes, Mayor Green the "champion" of transit voted to defeat a high-density development that would in time perhaps support improved transit of some sort!
Oh but Bucholtz surely must remember Green's calls to The Mimes over the Fort Langley Rowing Club and LEC articles where Alberts was interviewed. Many people opine that Bucholtz owes something to Green that goes way back to their Delta roots. Maybe they should both come clean and put their cards on the table. And where is the publish of The Mimes in all this?
From Day 1 Green has been the one to try and divide and conquer this council. To this day his ego does not allow him to say one word outside the council table to Councillor Grant Ward, and that is just plain despicable. Working together? We say BULLSHIT. Mayor Rick Green should have gone to breakfast with Councillor Richter and skipped the LEC opening along with her. Green didn't support the LEC, he had NOTHING to do with the LEC, and he certainly would like nothing better for it to fail.
Hey Bucky, get those green coloured glasses off, will ya? Why don't you start checking out what happened to Green's Land Trust and related promises? Council voted many months ago to have Green's consultant quantify land that could go in to a trust. No report has been produced to date and this was to be a very small consulting engagement. What do you say Bucky? Or have you lost your abilities to investigate and hold people accountable?

This is most interesting from Mr. Frank. He is/was a very staunch Green supporter, in fact always took his side from the beginning. Maybe he is at peace with himself these days or maybe someone made him look like he is at least trying!
Richter doesn't go to public outings we all know that, unless she can get Bob and his video camera in the way...mug shots.
Frank just cannot allow Kurt to have any good press can he! It is all Tricky Ricky all the time in that guy's world.
'Again' you say! It should read - always with this editor!
