Former Largo city manager who became woman now a finalist for job in Lake Worth

Interesting. I missed the audio from the meeting - there were problems with the feed from City Hall. Click title for related PB Post article. I guess we still live in a time where this is "headline news." Someday we will get past a time when someone's sexual identity and/or sexual orientation isn't highlighted in such a manner. Mayor Clemens came out against bigotry in the article and said we only are concerned with the qualifications of candidates for such a position. Hurrah!

Significantly, one person not on the list is someone that Colonel Half-truth and other merry-makers saw as the "ideal" candidate. At least sanity prevailed in the assembly of the short list of candidates. It appears that visitations by the candidates will be during the first week in April, with a decision soon to follow afterward.

Let's hope the "drive-thru" style city manager is no more with Mr. Baldwin's departure. We have a chance to select a person that will be a resident, full-time City Manager invested and engaged in our community when all is said and done. Some familiarity with planning and zoning issues would be a "plus."
