LARGO, Fla. (AP) - One of the five commissioners who voted to fire a city manager who is seeking a sex-change operation said his management style, not lifestyle, led to the dismissal.
Commissioner Gay Gentry said City Manager Steve Stanton was a "hard-nosed, my-way-or-the-highway" boss who expected more understanding of his personal situation than he showed to some of his roughly 1,200 employees in 14 years as the city's top official.
"Suddenly the rules were changing and he was asking to be dealt with in a different way than he was dealing with people," Gentry said.
