Don't kill the messenger

To The Eagle:

Very interesting! The current fire house flap certainly has raised the local blood pressure in a lot of directions.

It seems that there is a lynch mob forming to dump the Mayor. Why fire the guy for standing up for the locals whose public contributions are funding this enterprise?

Seems to me he's doing what previous mayors chose to ignore! Why kill the messenger? Unfortunately this has all occurred in a volunteer organization which is vital to all in the area. It appears that there should have been sufficient legal expertise available that the proper path to conduct public business was followed.

Maybe some of the current righteous indignation should be refocused.
