Aikman and Coye clash over terms of resignation

The fireworks were supposed to come tonight, when at a U.D.P. public meeting, it will finally be revealed which constituency will be home to the politically reborn Derek Aikman. But as usual with things having to do with Derek, surprise was the order of the day, as the former City Manager just couldn’t manage to leave his job quietly. According to reports from the scene, a confrontation took place this afternoon at City Hall between Aikman and Mayor Jose Coye over the details of Derek’s departure. The two parties are still trying to negotiate exactly how many days of holiday are left owing on Aikman’s much celebrated contract. That holiday began on Monday and according to the mayor, the city manager was supposed to return his official vehicle as well as the keys to his office before he took off. That still has not been done and it appears that Derek prefers to hand over the keys only after the financial negotiations are complete. At some point during today’s drama the vehicle Aikman drove to City Hall and parked in the mayor’s spot was blocked from moving by a city vehicle. The police were called and so were the always eager media. A good time was reportedly had by all.
