Whaling responded: “Just made my day Pam.”
Town council member Joyce Gibson said that after news of the post circled the globe, the small office’s voicemail system quickly filled to capacity with irate callers.
An online campaign calling for Taylor and Whaling to resign drew tens of thousands responses.
Gibson wants anyone who judges the town to “come see us. Spend a day with us.”
The nonpartisan town council has five members, plus the town recorder and mayor. Whaling’s seat was empty during the meeting in a small office attended by a few local residents along with several journalists and some people from outside the area who wanted to see justice served.
