Madeira Beach comes to terms with former city manager and clerk
MADEIRA BEACH — Embattled City Manager Shane Crawford and former City Clerk Cheryl Crawford formally walked away Monday as both he and the new City Commission tried to put an end to the city's contentious politics.
"The Crawfords are done with Madeira Beach," the Crawfords' attorney, Jay Hebert, told the commission. "This family does not want to be a part of this culture anymore. It is toxic and they want it to be over."
After the meeting, Mayor Maggi Black indicated she hoped the city would be able to focus on the future rather than past political disputes.

The meeting was typically contentious with residents levying charges against the commission or against the Crawfords as they continued to their fight over development and the future of the city.
