Who paid for this video, I wonder? Any disclosures anywhere?

[LangfordInterchange]

I made it for free.  $0.

I think of it as a public service.

boy oh boy...that council must be speed readers or something....umm yeah time to ELECT A NEW COUNCIL...one who actually gives a crap!

[Organjic]

If I lived there I would elect an entire new council and Mayor. Oh by the way, citizens can object with a "point of order" and then cite the rule and demand the votes be counted. Blame yourself/ves for not standing up.

Fuck langford

[bjornsiborgsi]

but who are you to judge? have you been part of the city council? they're not having a debate on these issues but likely just paper formalities. you are a layman and don't know how the system works. you're just going on your frustrated emotions.

It's great to see a town where progress doesn't happen at a snail's pace. This council was elected again by the majority, by those who aren't too lazy to get out and vote. Langford voted Stew Young in a couple times now because nobody will oppose him. He must be doing something right eh?

[abbykitten]

Having met him, his goonies and seen him at work, I can downright tell you that he only employs yes-men and is not at ALL in touch with reality. At a closed ceremony in October of last year, to which I was a staff member of the facility, he said that Langford has NOT felt ANY effect from the recession. *rolls eyes* Maybe he and his buddies haven't, but the rest of us sure have!

It would be interesting if someone were to run against him. I wonder if they would be bullied and threatened. Actually I know the answer to that.

And they say that we live in the free country. A country were they are free to change the rules. Sort of like a cop telling you that you have a right to remain silent. Anything that you say or don't say will be used against you. Yep, all part of living in the "free world".

Please note the municipal elections are in a couple weeks. No one is running agaisnt the mayor. The silent majority actually support this council. If you respect democracy then you must accept it too. I do have a issue with second & third readings of any bylaws in one session. I think they should only be able to do one reading per council meeting. This would give members of the public adequate time to ask questions or format opposition. That would seem more fair & less rushed.

Looks as if it's just a formality.
