More Reasons Why Kim Richter Cannot Be Mayor

Reason 529 - 538   why Township of Langley Councillor Kim Richter cannot be mayor:

At the last meeting of Township Council the Langley Record has now learned that Councillor Kim Richter attached several groups of people in the Township. In reviewing the official file of the meeting, we have found that Richter is:
  • Against helping sick people 
  • Against helping old people
  • Against helping anyone who works in the hospital taking care of sick people
  • Against helping anyone working in a society taking care of old people
  • Against the Langley Events Centre, Aldergrove pool and other recreation facilities
  • Against proper planning for road maintenance
  • Against reducing liquor seats in Langley Meadows
  • Against reducing liquor service hours in Langley Meadows
  • Against moving fast to connect people to sewer
  • Against moving fast to protect the Salmon River from failing septic fields overflowing a few feet from its banks
It is also now very apparent to our Editorial Board that Kim Richter can’t work with anyone. Not her one time slate mates Rick Green or Grant Ward, not Kurt Alberts or Howie Vickberg, not Jordan Bateman or Charlie Fox, not Muriel Arnason or Penny Kirkpatrick, not Dan Sheel or Steve Ferguson, not anyone. 

Not even the fulltime fire fighters she claimed to support but voted not to fund and tried to stab in the back in the first month of the term. She couldn't work with John Scholtens, who froze taxes for six years. She kept fighting him with nasty letters and personal attacks. Maybe the problem is not the rest of the world. Maybe the problem is Kim Richter?

Ouch, ouch, one tough meeting for the lady......looking in the mirror is tough I guess, maybe it is time for her to flog a dead horse in some other constituency. She is definitely picking her battles with every issue and item on the agenda - will haunt her on old age if nothing else.

A sad commentary on an elected official who pledged to meet the needs of 'ALL' her constituents. I guess her web-site isn't trueful.
