Controversy in Dayton: City Manager Placed on Leave Over Video

Dayton, a small Texas town, is at the center of a major controversy following a one-second video circulating on social media. The video in question features City Manager Kimberly Judge “dancing and enjoying herself with a group of close friends,” as reported by her PR firm.

A City Council meeting was convened to discuss Judge’s fate, resulting in her being placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the video’s context. Emotions ran high at the meeting, with many questioning the necessity of such actions.

Residents like Sherial Alwson voiced support for Judge, emphasizing that she has fulfilled her duties effectively. Others viewed the video as insignificant, with Courtney Wheeler dismissing it as a minor issue.

Despite conflicting opinions, the City Council’s decision to place Judge on leave was not well-received by many attendees. Some argued that the video lacked context and should not have led to such drastic measures.

As the controversy unfolds, Judge’s representatives have issued a statement condemning the release of the video and affirming her dedication to the community. They urge the public to see past the smear campaign and support Judge during this challenging time.
