1. The story (from the lady on the town council)

is that a city manager was forced on her.

3. If I recall correctly (always iffy),

it was because she went in and fired a bunch of people, and the populace was outraged and started taking steps to initiate a recall (recall Palin). When they brought in the manager, they dropped the action.

5. And she blew the budget and hired the lobbyist

for the disastrous town skate rink (a money loser).

4. Because she was going to be recalled. It was a compromise so she could keep her job..

the bloggers rushed to capture so much information before they deleted it.

I can just picture the grin on Obama and Biden's faces as they go through the information, shaking their heads from side to side in amazement.
