1. "Sounds like she had some enemies in that town"

Really? Sounds more like a murder/suicide or a double suicide to me.

4. I think the OP meant;

That given the article's tone the councilwoman was at odds with several of the people with power in her community. Whether the deaths were a result of that power struggle or she and her husband did the one-two remains to be determined.

2. This is sad.

Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

3. THIS is what she kills herself over?

If she'd gotten a speeding ticket, she'd have died years ago.

offing yourself over fubbed travel expenses?
