Long story short the Mayor has an affair with a developer and agrees to let him get zoning for a controversial bit of real estate. Later she divorces and files a conflict of interest form stating a professional relationship with the developer, Mark Jordan.
(Note first sentence edited for current supposed facts as we know it)
She hid the affair long enough so she could get re-elected (unopposed) and then turn the seat over via the process for doing so in Richardson. At this time there appears no way to functionally stop the city council from appointing a mayor of their own choosing to serve for two years.
