SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Steve Stanton was fired as city manager in Largo two months ago after announcing his plans to become Susan Stanton. On Wednesday, Stanton, wearing a white skirt, pumps and makeup, applied for the top job in this cosmopolitan tourist town, and was turned down.
The Sarasota city commissioners instead picked another one of the five candidates. Stanton was their third choice.
"It's just too soon. It's too soon for a transgendered city manager. ... I just don't think the world is ready just yet," the 48-year-old Stanton said as she made a hasty exit from City Hall.
