Susan Stanton, City Manager of Greenfield, California

Comment Up

And what better opportunity, now that we talked about the constant crime in Lake Worth that seems to be escalating, than to mention our former city manager of Lake Worth, Susan Stanton.

Now the city manager of Greenfield, California,  Susan Stanton is conducting a national search for its very own police chief. As mentioned in a blog last year, Greenfield and Soledad California have been sharing one police chief since March 2012. She has held steadfast in her claim that Greenfield needed its own police chief.

According to Greenfield's police chief, "Burglaries in Greenfield are down 47 percent, armed robberies by 14 percent and neither city has had a homicide in 10 months, an accomplishment considering the violence flare-ups troubling much of the rest of the county. Assaults are down and we've saved some money, too."  click here.

At the time of her hire, the mayor of Greenfield, California said, "Stanton rose to the top of Greenfield’s applicant pool because of her skills in labor negotiations and her success in attracting new cultural centers to Largo. Communities across the nation are looking to raise revenues, and she did those things. Hiring her is a bold move, but it goes back to her experience and qualifications.”

Not only is crime down, but Stanton negotiated police salaries as she did when she was  city manager of Lake Worth. Stanton said her city's police department employees agreed to a contract with a 1 percent pay increase, compared to a nearly 12 percent increase under Soledad's new contracts. Please note that the PBSO got another raise this year. If any negotiations were taking place, we were not informed about them.

  3. Mr. Harrison is a convicted felon who, before he was convicted, operated a business in our downtown. It's still there. Commissioner Amoroso is a public figure. There was nothing slanderous about the comment. Please point out what you consider "slander" or bully comments.

  5. To the person who just tried to post here suggesting that Mulvehill or McNamara were going to oppose Amoroso, you are FLAT WRONG. So, don't bring your "grotesque" attacks over here. Thanks.

  6. your heart still aches for Stanton it's obvious. I'm going to email her and have her contact you, you could really use the emotional pick up. You are very angry and bitter. Maybe a call from wonder woman will help you with that.

  7. Anonymous at 8:42. Through the years, I have pointed out the good and the bad when it comes to Ms. Stanton. This happens to be one of the good. All you want to do is knock someone down to the ground ALL OF THE TIME instead of looking at any good. Stay and be indoctrinated by the bully who is against everyone...your business. Here, on this blog, you will read fact whether you like it or not.

  9. Ain't no two ways about it Stanton was bullied out of town. The bully pulpit did not want her to be the hero. To the commission, that is their job. What to do when someone may get credit for good? Get rid of her!

  10. The blame game is very popular in Lake Worth, and so very easy when the targets are long gone. The reality is that people who were on past commissions did the best they could with what they had. If there is blame it's on the citizens who rarely paid attention. Few do now, in truth.
