[b]QUARTZSITE – The mayor called a Town Council meeting, but five of the six council members didn’t show up.

So the mayor denounced them as cowards.

The town manager was inexplicably absent.

Several police officers attended the meeting in May to read a statement asking that the police chief be investigated. They alleged abuse of authority, including the arrests of numerous political enemies.

They never got a chance to speak, however, because the building inspector who recently had been promoted to assistant town manager suddenly made an announcement:

“City Hall is closed, and this meeting is over.â€
