#1 Wonder why she bothered. Could it be that the cops were abusing the city credit cards? Writing practically no tickets? Got to be another side if the mayor wanted to take on those additional problems.

#2 It gets better:

Fallaw admits he and Carson have “history.” It started after she was first elected to council in 2010. She wanted to see the cellphone records for the police, but not other departments, Fallaw said. When she insisted under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act, Fallaw said he told her it would cost an estimated $700 for him to go through the records and weed out the numbers of confidential informants, victims and others. She no longer sought the information.

“Some of this seems a little vindictive if I had to guess,” he said.

For instance, he resigned on a Tuesday, Nov. 17. She had him clean out his office by the next Friday, not waiting until he left, Fallaw said.

“She also kicked the sergeant out of his office. She now occupies that office,” Fallaw said.

Also, she is holding the officers’ last checks to ensure nothing was compromised, even though she signed receipts saying all the town’s property was returned by the officers, Fallaw said.

But he notes the people of North voted for Carson over the other candidates.

“They elected Ms. Carson, and we can’t deny that,” he said.

#3 Having to presumably get each tank of gas pre-approved seems more like micro-management to me.

#4 And you should have seen the form we had to fill out to take a piss! Three pages - in triplicate!

I'd have signed it once, highlighted, John Spartan style, basically what the department did.

Better yet, make her change the tires, for her own confirmation of course.

#5 Does Ms. Carson, by any chance, have a "D" after her name?
