A judge has ruled that a councilwoman cannot serve on a panel evaluating charges against a mayor. The decision was made due to concerns about bias and the councilwoman's actions, including contacting family members and sending an email that was described as a threat. The email included a line that suggested the recipient did not want the councilwoman as an enemy.

The councilwoman's removal from the panel was requested by the mayor's attorney, who argued that the city denied the mayor due process in investigating allegations against him. The allegations include misspending and sexual misconduct.

Further details about the case and the judge's decision are available from the source. The ruling affects the panel that will weigh charges against the mayor, but additional information about the outcome is not provided.
