Transgender City Manager Ousted From Lake Worth for ‘Personal Reasons’ | SouthFloridaGayNews.com

This article, dated January 3, 2012, is mentioned under one of the comments found at the post below. It's a long article which is short on conclusions. Why? Because Ms. Stanton was not fired for cause, which was completely allowed by her contract. To mention specific reasons for her dismissal could lead to legal challenges related to her firing - something that Commissioners McVoy and Mulvehill fail to understand or do not care if the city faces yet another legal action. In the article, we also learn that Commissioner McVoy is vacationing in Vermont and pleasantly allowed his house painting to be interrupted by the reporter. Ms. Anderson finds it necessary to comment three times at the end of the article.

And are those that stand shoulder-shoulder with Ms. Stanton aware that this past election may just have been a referendum on whether she stay as City Manager or not?

The article concludes, multiple times, that the firing was not due to her gender status. Can we please get on with the business of the city? Click title for link.
