Langley Township councillors ‘nay’ votes due to particular details within bylaws

Council members cast votes for a wide variety of reasons, including some wording within bylaws.

Editor: Re R. Seguin’s letter (The Times, Oct 21), complaining about Councillors Kim Richter and David Davis voting against the “my way or highway” attitude of the rest of council. I have observed at council meetings that they are not against planning approvals en masse, but are voting against that particular version of the proposal. There is no middle ground in a vote, so they have to vote accordingly. One example was in 2013 on the blueberry cannon bylaw, where Richter felt the bylaw did not go far enough
