My own thoughts about the situation, and what I told her, I don't believe it completely and need some time to think it over. Also scum pushing her could be valid, but it doesn't help that she was pretty widely scum read as well.
Then there's the whole split wagon between Xlaw and her and if both were town, you'd have to factor in wagon analysis and why exactly there was resistance to both of those wagons to make them competitive against each other.
