Politics as normal. The idea of sweeping out all incumbents sounds like the best idea.

Why were the board members trying to get into the computer? If they were afraid that it was to be tampered with, they could asked the local police to put it in an evidence locker.

As usual one person tries to stir a small problem into a big one. No matter what he does he's not going to be Mayor!!! LIVE WITH IT!

Did anyone in this entire process realized that there is no backup of the data. The only smart person in this entire group was the chief in securing the computer, but he did not create backups.

If this computer is so crucial why was the information not backed up or stored on a network server. It is ridiculous to not have information back up if it was covered under hippa.
