The town manager of Highlands was terminated. It was likely nothing more than a business decision, but the names of some of the characters in the story sound funny as related by the Macon News:

Since last year [Town Manager Jim] Fatland was earning $104,000 per year and was allotted $500 a week for automobile expenses, along with regular town employee benefits.

Town Attorney Bill Coward, who is responsible for drafting the verbiage of his official termination, was unavailable for comment.
