Now the question is how did the citizen get access to the video

From the quality of the video, I suspect it was from a phone or Flip. Why would you suspect the mayor did it and not another citizen and what difference does it make. The video speaks for itself.
The difference is that the Mayor supported her and the council opposed her so strongly to react illegally.
The accusation has been made, with no reference to source, that this is about auditing the payroll records of the city. And that this involves the councilmen being paid for “other services” out of city funds. If that is true, it would partially explain the reaction of the councilmen, and the support of the Mayor.
She was just in the middle of the dispute.
