LAKE WORTH - The former Largo city manager who was fired after her plans to have a sex change became public has started her new job as the city manager for Lake Worth.

Susan Stanton - formerly known as Steven - started Monday. She was hired April 7 to replace the former city manager, who took a job in Dania Beach. Stanton was fired by the Largo City Commission in early 2007 after working for the city for more than 16 years. Later that year, Stanton was a finalist for a city manager position in Sarasota but did not ultimately get the job.

Lake Worth city commissioners last week approved Stanton's employment contract, which states she will receive $150,000 a year plus benefits.
