Recall Election Forced for Oregon Mayor with Hot MySpace Photo

The good thing about this story not flaming out is I get to post the hot photo of Arlington, Oregon mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist again. I mean, come on, those are some fabulous abs!

Seriously though, the story continues, with opponents having collected enough signatures to force a recall election.

While the picture is part of it, opponents also disagree with the mayor on water issues and what to do with the local golf course.

Under Oregon's constitution, Kontur-Gronquist will be given five days to resign or submit a statement explaining her record in office. A recall election would be scheduled after the five days have elapse, to be held within 35 days.

According to an interview Kortur-Gronquist gave to 20/ABC's "20/20," broadcast earlier, Kontur-Gronquist said she had permission from the fire chief to use the engine and had intended to use the photos in a contest about fitness in women.

Uh huh. On the other hand, she also said that a relative set up the MySpace page in hopes it would jump-start her social life. And it hasn't, with that picture?
