SILVERTON, Ore. - After hours of debate Monday night, the Silverton City Council decided to censure its transgender mayor.
Mayor Stu Rasmussen admits he wore an open-back bathing suit, mini skirt and high heels when he went to speak before a group of kids for a Silverton-based non-profit group.
A member of that organization was not happy with the attire and filed a complaint with the city.
The City Council found the public complaint to be founded and publicly reprimanded the mayor by censuring him, which basically means they officially disapproved of his outfit.
