Functional Ambivalent is ready to relocate to the perfect place.
Arlington, Oregon, recalled its mayor yesterday for posing for racy MySpace pictures in her underwear. Not every mayor could pull that off, but Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist did, convincingly.
While the underwear controversy sparked the recall effort, the voters were disgruntled for other reasons as well. For example: there is the matter of the management of the Arlington Municipal Golf Course. To save money, the mayor had cut two people from the course’s maintenance staff.
So, to recap: a town where the mayor looks great posing in frilly underthings has a political uprising over how often the local golf course staff rakes the traps. I’m moving there next week.
But actually it isn’t just the attractions of Arlington. Tom may need to get out of town to escape his pending embarassment. Read about how No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
