Just happened in my small town. Mayor got caught falsifying documents in previous city job. Pled guilty, agreed to fine + resignation. Judge threw that out, added 15 days in jail. Mayor didn't resign till the DA filed suit to enforce the law.
Much popcorn was consumed watching theatrics in town of 1k people.
Yes, but when have you seen it happen the other way? Judge throws out the plea bargain and gives lesser sentence. I'd be shocked and amazed. Now reading about that case would require some popcorn.
Haven't seen that. But this is the third in a string of entertaining mayors we've had.
Previous mayor got into a fight about hours worked with the council, and then after passing a resolution, the council had a lawyer look at it and decide that they couldn't do what they just did.
Previous to that, the mayor used the word 'poopyhead' on a local internet forum, which was disbanded later due to the excessive flaming over land use regulations.
Small towns are lovely, except for the talent pool for leading them.
