'Absolutely he's been bullying': 2 Langford city councillors voice frustration with mayor
CTV
The City of Langford incorporated in 1992. Since then, it has transformed itself from a "have-not community" into the third-fastest-growing municipality in Canada. Now, with a divided city council, that growth could stall. At least, that's what Mayor Stew Young believes.
That’s what Mayor Stew Young – the only mayor the city has ever had – said at a Feb. 7 council meeting.
“We’re going to disagree on council with each other and we’ll move on,” said Young.
But moving on is not what is currently happening on a now-fractured Langford City Council.
On one side are councillors Lillian Szpak and Denise Blackwell, who say the mayor’s recent behaviour is out of line.
“It’s unacceptable and inappropriate,” said Spzak.
“Absolutely he’s been bullying, and especially lately,” said Blackwell.
On the other side are Young and the rest of council.
“No, I’m not a bully,” said Young. “I’m going to stand up for council and I’m going to stand up for the community.”
