How would you like that kind of attention?

The mayor at his side, longtime Largo City Manager Steve Stanton disclosed to the St. Petersburg Times on Wednesday he is undergoing hormone therapy and counseling in preparation for a sex-change operation.

Through the process, which could take well more than a year, Stanton plans to remain as the chief executive of this city of 76,000. He has the support of Mayor Pat Gerard, elected last March.

"He's a dedicated city manager and puts his job first," said Gerard, who learned of the decision Jan. 1.
