The Case Of The Christmas Goose In Flower Mound

In documents finally released to the Dallas Morning News, both the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem of Flower Mound were caught on tape pinching the ass of a town police officer in the council chambers at the end of a November 2009 council meeting. The chief of police had filed a sexual harassment complaint, although an "independent" investigation claimed it was not sexual harassment.
 
Mayor Jody Smith and Mayor Pro Tem Jean Levenick both goosed the officer from either side of him, and the incident was even caught on tape. I don't know about you, but if I am in my office and someone grabs my ass, that would pretty much fall under the realm of sexual harassment if it was unwanted contact. I fail to see how a pinch on the butt doesn't fall into that category. The two ladies agreed it was "not appropriate workplace conduct".
 
The Mayor claims it is politically motivated. Sorry, lady. You pinched some dude on the ass at work. It probably should motivate the voters of Flower Mound to question you.
