A look back from Willy Howard, "New City Manager Michael Bornstein makes welcome changes in Lake Worth"

From the article by former beat reporter Willy Howard on June 3rd, 2012, almost 4 years ago:

     Unlike former City Manager Susan Stanton, who was fired Dec. 6 in a 3-2 vote, Bornstein is getting out of the office to listen to residents.

     Bornstein, who served 12 years as town manager in Lantana, said friends questioned his sanity for taking the job in Lake Worth, where political fights are "legendary."
     But the new city manager, 49, said he can resuscitate Lake Worth.
     "It's a major challenge, but it's also got good bones," he said. "I like the artsy, quirky, cool personality Lake Worth has. We own that."
     Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell, who led the charge to fire Stanton, said Bornstein's team approach to problem-solving will help the city meet the challenges ahead.
     "He gets along with everyone," Maxwell said. "Even if you don't agree with his position, you don't disagree with him."
