A city with an e-mail scandal that puts ours to shame

Leominster city worker learns her boyfriend, the mayor, dumped her for another city worker via e-mail:

... The mayor's defense of his actions followed months of rumors that his ex-girlfriend, Stacia L. Venturi - upon discovering his relationship with Lisa L. Vallee, the economic coordinator - slapped Mr. Mazzarella on City Hall steps on Jan. 19, the day of the special election to replace the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

The mayor denied that Ms. Venturi struck him, but acknowledged she was upset upon finding out through a series of office e-mails about his relationship with Ms. Valle, who is married. Mr. Mazzarella noted using city e-mail was a mistake, and said they should have communicated via personal e-mail.

All we had was an aide to the mayor deleting e-mail.

Though I don't live there anymore, I can say after reading this I am just swelling with pride that Leominster is my hometown. Is the mayor actually doing any city business or just doing city employees?

A better idea

How about simply behaving yourself professionally while at work, particularly with regards people in your chain of command?
