Racy Myspace photos get Mayor stripped of office

Myspace strikes again.

The mayor of an Oregon town who once posed on a fire truck in her underwear has been stripped of office.

Voters in the town of about 500 voted narrowly Monday to recall Carmen Kontur-Gronquist. The tally was 142-139. City officials said the recall is effective Tuesday. Kontur-Gronquist said the pictures of her in black bra and panties were taken for use in a contest about fitness but a relative posted them on MySpace in hopes it would improve the social life of the single mother.

They predated her election but she said she saw no reason to take them off the popular website once elected three years ago. Later, she closed access to them.

Opponents said it wasn’t fitting for the mayor to be so depicted. They said they also disagreed with her on issues about water and the local golf course.
