As to the first part, I haven't seen anything to indicate that there was an "outcry", per se. It appears that the state of Alaska began to exert pressure on her town to change the law.

As for SOP, I don't think so. The articles on the subject seemed to indicate that Wasilla was the only town with this law on the books, or at least one of the only ones, at the time in question. (Someone please correct me if I've misstated the info in the posted articles)
