Shall we start a pool for a new scandal breaking out because it looks like Palin likes to keep things in the family
Quote:
WASILLA -- Mayor Dianne Keller said she has "absolutely no intention" of resigning despite a 4-1 vote by the city council Monday night asking her to step down over her handling of a proposed Parks Highway shopping development.
The vote is not binding.
Wasilla city law lists eight reasons the mayor's seat can be declared vacant. Among them are being absent 90 days without excuse; being physically or mentally unable to perform the duties of office; and being convicted of certain crimes.
Keller's case fits none of them. Even so, four city council members present Monday said Keller had damaged the credibility of the city.
Deputy mayor Kristofer Larson voted against the measure and Councilman Doug Holler was excused from the meeting.
"The truth is that this mayor has failed to uphold her oath of office. She has not acted fairly with these folks," said Councilwoman Dianne Woodruff, sponsor of the resignation measure.
In February, Woodruff and other council members unanimously agreed to pay Denali Law Group of Wasilla $23,500 to investigate claims by Parks Highway business owners that Keller and city staff gave an unfair advantage to Meritage Development Group.
Meritage is seeking to build two large shopping centers in Wasilla on the Parks Highway.
