So a bunch of IP addresses from all over North America fill out the survey? You should have your wife go to the local labor board quietly then record this harlot she calls a boss trying to get your wife to resign.
I have been in the same position. It is called a "constructive dismissal" which is when unfavourable or unpleasant circumstances and work conditions are pilled up against an employee. I have been a salesman for years and I had a manager strip my territory, take away customers I fought to win over ect. I quit because I didn't want to deal with it anymore.
Your wifes boss sounds about the same. I would go to a labor board or a lawyer, give them all the evidence you have. You might be able to win a civil suit against the city for this woman actions, which could mean money for your wife, a VERY healthy severance/keep quiet package or boss lady getting fired. Hopefully all of the above.
