Manatee County Commission Chair Vanessa Baugh indicated she has no plans to resign after she asked for her name to be included on a COVID-19 vaccine list.
After At-large Commissioner George Kruse admitted having an affair and accused a fellow commissioner of trying to manipulate his vote because of it, Manatee County commissioners voted Jan. 26 for the second time in less than three months to give County Administrator Cheri Coryea 15 days notice of a vote to possibly terminate her contract.
Kruse raised the motion in part because he said he blamed Coryea for her part in coordinating an informal meeting at 8 a.m., Jan. 22 about supposedly affordable housing with commissioner Carol Whitmore. Whitmore is the commissioner who he said was trying to manipulate his vote.
He said he will leave it up to the Board of Commissioners to decide whether the termination is with or without cause.
