Lagerbloom released a statement saying that following an investigation it was in the city’s best interest to separate employment. There were complaints of discrimination.
The investigation was conducted by an outside attorney Gregg Rossman and supported complaints that Scirotto made presentations based on race, gender and sexual orientation. There was a minority-first agenda.
