ARLINGTON-- Carmen Kontur-Gronquist works at the local clinic and fire department-- and she's the mayor of Arlington, Oregon. But it's her sexy photos, not her politics, that made headlines around the country.

This face of a tiny town squared off with some very angry citizens at last night's city council meeting, who say they want their leader to act like an elected official, not a sex symbol.

Usually only a hand-full of people show up to the meetings-- and rarely do the media appear-- but last night the chambers were so crowded people lined up outside, waiting to discover the fate of a mayor rocked by scandal.

Kontur-Gronquist posted photos of herself sitting on a fire truck in her bra, under the banner of Arlington mayor.

The dozens of critics came together to call for her resignation say the photos are the straw that broke the camel's back.

“The pictures were a catalyst that brought the people together,” said Leslie Walborn, the planning commission chair, “but the pictures are a minor issue.”

The mayor's opponents say Kontur-Gronquist did not deliver on a promise to lower water rates, and that she is trying to close the city golf course. But there is no denying the embarrassment that put this tiny town on the map.

“Placing provocative photos on the Internet using an elected official title is unacceptable,” says a statement written by Arlington's concerned citizens group. “Due to the seriousness of these concerns, we are asking for the mayor's immediate resignation. If she is not willing to resign, we are prepared to proceed with a recall.”

Other residents urged the community to come together and solve the problem diplomatically.

“We can't divide this town-- I mean, we can, it's up to you,” said Frank Burgese. “But I challenge all sides to sit down and pound out some sort of agreement with each other, so this doesn't rise to the level of a recall, so this doesn't rise to the level of national ridicule. It's kinda sorta already there right now.”

Those who stand behind the mayor say say the only people who should be embarrassed are the people who exposed the mayor by sending her photos to the media and turning their quiet town into a media circus.
