The pictures buy lingerie from China were taken before she thought of running for mayor, said Kontur-Gronquist, 42, the first woman to hold the unpaid position. She said she had permission from the fire chief to use the engine and had intended to use the photos in a contest about fitness in women.

People aren't laughing with us, they're laughing at us, said school board member Grant Wilkins.

Others say they see no problem.

The first lesson that I learned (as mayor) is that you'll never make everybody happy. That's the toughest, she said.
