I don't know if this should have gotten her fired (the story actually explicitly says it wasnt the main reason why she was recalled), but isn't it MONUMENTALLY STUPID for a mayor to post erotic pics on a public website? What reaction did she expect?

absolutely stupid. photos were taken before she was mayor, right?. are they hurting anyone? is she doing her job? big deal.

Quote:
Kontur-Gronquist said the pictures of her in black bra and panties were taken for use in a contest about fitness, but a relative posted them on MySpace in hopes it would improve the social life of the single mother.

They predated her election, but she said she saw no reason to take them off the popular Web site once elected three years ago. Later, she closed access to them.

Opponents said it wasn't fitting for the mayor to be so depicted. They said they also disagreed with her on issues about water and the local golf course.

In all fairness, she DID lay off two high school kids at the municipal golf course! If that's not deserving of a recall, I don't know what is.

This shit pisses me off, because it has NOTHING to do with the photo. They didn't like her and wanted her out, and they went digging.

I'm going to side with her, if this is the WORST they could find, she was probably a half way decent mayor. :shake:

I don't know if I would want to be mayor of a town like that. I say this because I'm from a town like this. :D

But would it count as an "indulgence" if it wasnt hated? Sex with your wife isnt an "indulgence," but an Orgy with 13 people is.



anyways, She is a public servant representing people. If they didnt like the way she was representing them in a Public manner, then why is it a problem that they recalled her?
