Manatee Commissioners Move To Fire Coryea

Government

Mere days after being sworn in to office, County Commissioner Kevin Van Ostenbridge called for the dismissal of County Administrator Cheri Coryea. A majority of Commissioners, including three new commissioners and Vanessa Baugh, voted to set a date of Jan. 6 to discuss termination. The move came shortly after a controversial $32.5 million land purchase of the Lena Road landfill, which was finalized days before new commissioners were sworn in. Coryea’s contract requires at least 15 days notice before a vote on her termination.
