Lots of Hypocrisy At The Mimes

Journalism hit an all-time low this week when Langley Times Editor Frank Bucholtz who this opinion piece on municipal taxes for their sister paper, The Surrey North Delta Leader. We now refer to The Langley Times as The Langley Mimes because it is common knowledge that Bucky (Frank Bucholtz) supported Rick Green in his run for mayor and threw former Mayor Kurt Alberts under the bus in the final days of the campaign by telling people in another opinion piece that Township residents should watch the tax inssue (interesting enough). Now he allows Green to call The Mimes to censor them, or to complain about content or a lack of coverage. Green does so frequently, and has boasted about it in public often.

Did Bucky forget this Mimes opinion piece he wrote just a short time ago? He had to admit that his buddy Rick Green was unrealistic with his 0-0-0 tax increases, but what about the value we get for our tax dollars here in the Township of Langley? Does Delta and Surrey provide more? We sincerely doubt that. Here's another gem where the good editor asks ToL Council to spend. A great cause for sure, but you can't have it both ways Bucky! But, Editor Bucholtz MUST stick up for his buddy Green and it is clearly evident right here, in our opinion. See for yourself with these links we've provided.

Editor - you have commented long and hard on the ultimate hypocracy which the 'Langley Mimes' (your words) heraqlds in it's editorials. They have to be censored by the two old Delta buddies (Green and Bucky) and further Bucky obviously has a tough time sticking to a consistent story line. Oh well, only in Langley press circles I guess - thank goodness the paper is free! I am not sure folks would buy that rag.
