Carmen Kontur-Gronquist, the mayor of Arlington, Oregon, has been ousted of her position after racy MySpace pictures of her surfaced over a month ago.
Voters in this 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.
Residents showed disdain with the mayor after she posted pictures of herself wearing only a black bra and panties on her MySpace page. She was on one of the town's fire engines.
Kontur-Gronquist's MySpace page is available to just her friends and blocked to everyone else, but the pictures were at one time available to all users.
Kontur-Gronquist, who is also the fire department's executive secretary, said the photos were taken before she was elected mayor three years ago, and she saw no reason to remove them from the Internet after taking office.
Kontur-Gronquist also said that she did nothing wrong and those who are offended need to get over it.
