After a plethora of media coverage by local news outlets, including several stories featured in the Palm Beach Post, it's hardly breaking news that transgendered Lake Worth City Manager Susan Stanton was fired from her job last month.
The 3-2 vote in favor of her dismissal has brought with it its fair share of controversy in the local press, and the motives behind the firing itself are still murky according to two of the commissioners. And even a third commissioner, newly elected Andy Amoroso who voted to oust Stanton, is rather tightlipped on the issue despite his supposedly "friendly" dealings with her for the better part of two years.
So just why was she let go? Was it budgetary? Was it something more sinister, more politically motivated?
