Anne Squires:

Okay imagine this.  A city council meeting with the mayor presiding.

Bob Taxpayer goes up to the mic.

Bob:  Some fellow citizens and I don't like some of the books on the
library shelves.  We have made a list.

Mayor:  May I see your list?

Bob submits list for the mayor's consideration.

Mayor: May I ask why you object to these particular books?

Bob:  These books contain ideas.

Mayor:  Ms.  Librarian what is your position?

Ms. Librarian:  No.  I will not remove books from the library shelves.

Mayor: (looks at list) What about________________, or ______________?

Ms. Librarian:  No.

Mayor: Oh, okay then.  (Turns to Bob Taxpayer)  I have looked into the
matter for you.



I think that this is very likely how the whole thing pretty much went
down.  I could be wrong, of course.  At any rate, I see no problem
with the mayor's actions.  And, as for Mr. Bob Taxpayerr, he is within
his rights as well.  The mayor was just doing her job, imho.  She
couldn't very well say:  Mr. Taxpayer I refuse to take any action on
your behalf.

JMO,
