Myspace photos take down Mayor

TweetThe Story

The mayor of a small Oregon town who came under fire for racy pictures of her posted on the Internet was recalled in a close vote Monday.

According to the person who spearheaded the recall drive, Ron Miller, the vote was 142 in favor and 139 against the recall of Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist.

She came under fire after she posted photos of herself posed in lingerie on a fire truck on her MySpace page.

She told KATU News Tuesday that she had no regrets about posting the photo online, and she seemed to harbor no hard feelings about the recall.

"My reaction is that the democratic process took place, and that is a good process that we have in the United States, and it's fair," she said.

There are 366 registered voters in Arlington. Dozens of them held meetings and organized after the photo was publicized, and many participated in Monday night's recall vote.

But the voters weren't really just angry about the picture, some said.

Miller said the recall vote was also about some of her decisions as mayor of the small town, located along Interstate 84 between The Dalles and Pendleton in the Columbia River Gorge. That included her management of the city golf course, where she eliminated two positions during the fall and winter. That apparently did not sit well with some of the big golfers in town.

He said Gronquist will leave office immediately.

The Arlington City Council President will take over as mayor until a new mayor is selected.

As for Gronquist, she said she is selling a poster of herself on eBay. A portion of the proceeds, she said, will go to the Arlington city ambulance company.


Here is her myspace page

Tweetthats bs

[horsepwr]

Tweetyeah, some people have too much time on their hands to worry about some pictures like that. I think she sets a good example for women. She probably makes Ron Miller ashamed of the hog he has to go to bed with every night (just guessing) so he had to 'take action.'

TweetOh man... I drive by this town several times a year on my trek back to Portland, Ore. This is a freakin' small town. As HorsePWR says above, I quarantee that she is the hottest women in town! All there is in that town is a gold course and a small peer for fishing boats. I'm gonna stop in next time thru and talk smack at the local bar about what a nunch of tight ass ***** they are for doing that...
She was gracious about being removed.. looked up and article on her and she just says, hey they public voted and she respects it.

Peace,
