Not quiet on the eastern front

Citing endless council bickering, Afton's city administrator quits

...In her comments to the City Council on Monday night, Strauss said that she fell into disfavor with two Council members, Richter and Peg Nolz, and has had little communication with them for more than six months. She said the political climate was such that she was criticized for buying coffee, lunch and gifts in Old Village, the city's downtown district, because some business owners wanted more development in Afton. However, she said Tuesday that she wasn't forced from her job. "This is not about the Hatfields and McCoys," said Strauss, 40, referring to deep divisions in Afton over development issues. "Everybody wants to turn it into something else. This is about a personal decision for me."
