text: The City of Richmond is not short of bi-lingual staff to assist in property use inspections. Nor were they hesitant to hire on the basis of language skills as they did recently with their sign language bylaw inspector. What a bogus excuse to use  language difficulties in not investigating bylaw infractures. The only difficulty Richmond has is in finding their spine to investigate and charge.   Perhaps their next travel outing should be to the City of Coquitlam to see how they do it. 
  
  What am I saying. They couldn't  even find their way to Delta to learn how they managed to restrict the size of residences on ALR land.
  
  City of Richmond staff and politicians should not be allowed to travel on one more out of province  trade mission or one more out of province fact finding mission until they learn how to navigate to other metro Vancouver cities and get a handle on how to implement and enforce bylaws in Richmond.
