What is the problem?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so these nine mugshots must speak volumes.
Why has this selection of Environment Southland councillors (plus a CEO) ended up on the front page of the local rag (and why are some absent - not photogenic enough?) Must be some sort of problem, the Times journalist Scott Mackay opines, and he's right, there was. The article (here) describes what went down and readers are left wondering who has the right of it and what that spat cost us. Those details are not included in the article and there's not much to be read in the faces of the outlaws on the wanted poster.
The scrapping between the chairwoman and the chief executive is described as a dog-fight, but I'm not sure Scott has chosen the best mammal to use as a metaphor here.
