Irregularities cited as town fights petition trying to strip B.C. MLA of council seat

  • Lawyers for Langley Township have responded to a petition seeking to disqualify MLA Misty VanPopta from council, claiming a conflict of interest related to her elected positions.
  • The petition alleged that VanPopta's ability to attend council meetings remotely benefited her financially, allowing her to collect her salary improperly.
  • The Township's response argues that the petition lacks validity due to unconsented signatures, reducing the count below the required ten.
  • Barbara Sharp, who is leading the petition, acknowledged receiving help with signatures, while VanPopta expressed frustration and assumed the petition would be disqualified.
