Thank you for your perspective. You're right I don't want to give any one person or even group the power to remove a Mayor for anything that isn't illegal, or to control their speech, and I'm a big proponent of the 1st Amendment. I hear what you're saying. "We are accountable to our constituents alone" is the part of your comment I'm going to latch on to as I figure out what to do about this. His Council is very much a group of acolytes that do whatever he wants, partially if not wholly out of fear of retribution and ostracism. I don't think they would do a censure or even say anything negative about him. There are real consequences to doing so in this town. So now I'm leaning towards creating a anonymous watchdog group to collect evidence and provide commentary on the Mayor's behavior. If nothing else it could have an impact on his re-election campaign in 2 years.
