A Florida City Manager Faces Racial Discrimination Lawsuits
Deltona’s former interim City Manager is suing the city and accusing officials of conspiring to make sure he didn’t get the permanent job because of his race, according to a new federal lawsuit.
It’s the latest trouble for the Deltona city government, which is already dealing with litigation and a revolving door of City Managers.
Marc-Antonie Cooper, who is Black, also questioned the validity of his replacement John Peters III who won the permanent City Manager job with a 4-to-3 vote from the City Commission last year.
