P:iedmont, CA. is an interesting city. It is nestled into the foothills above Oakland. Population is a tad over 10,000. A lot of really rich people live there. One of the Bechtel family has a VERY NICE place there. By law, there are no structures there except single family residences and necessary government buildings. No duplexes or 7-11s in Piedmont.
Jeff Wieler was the mayor until a couple of days ago. He resigned hours before being kicked out by the city council. (He is still a member of the city council but is no longer the mayor.)
He made a couple of Facebook posts, including the statement that transgender people are mentally ill and Democrats are the plantation slave owners of the modern era. These posts were allegedly lacking in compassion and were offensive. I didn't find anybody who said he was wrong, merely offensive and lacking in compassion.
Facebook posts kill, careers if nothing else.
