Mayor Green declares war on Township Councillors

In today's Langley Times - they reported Township Mayor Rick Green unveiling his 7 member "team" for the civic elections in November.  See here

A point of interest though - he directly attacks Township Councillors Jordan Bateman, Bev Dornan, Steve Ferguson, Charlie Fox, Grant Ward, Bob Long and Kim Richter and called them the "Six Pack plus One"

Councillors Bateman, Ward, and Ferguson - I understand because of the intense personal interaction between these Councillors and TOL Mayor Rick Green.  But I must profess - I was scratching my head when he said that Councillors Dornan, Long, Fox and Richter must go as well.  These Councillors rarely if ever (all of the times I've observed Township Council meetings) had any interaction with Rick Green at TOL Council meetings.  As such - it is my conclusion that Mr. Green feels that all 7 of these Councillors have voted as a "block" and because of how they voted, contrary to his wishes and his 2008 campaign platform - Mr. Green has decided these 7 Councillors should all go, save TOL Councillor Mel Kositsky

I believe TOL residents should be scratching their heads at both this move and comments from TOL Mayor Rick Green

Again - this move plus any others in the Township of Langley, relating to the civic election in November, will make this muncipality the one to watch on November 19th
