St. George city manager leaves job with $625,000 settlement

ST. GEORGE — Former St. George City Manager Adam Lenhard is leaving the city with $625,000, according to a confidential settlement agreement St. George News obtained through a public records request.
According to a story originally published by the Salt Tribune earlier this week, Lenhard was pushed out of his position due to backlash related to allowing a drag show to take place in the St. George Town Square in June.
The drag show was a part of “We’re Here,” a mature-rated HBO Max docuseries that chronicles the travels of three drag queens across the country as they visit conservative communities and engage with the local LGBTQ-plus community therein. The purpose is to help empower LBGTQ-plus individuals who may otherwise feel alone and unwanted through participating in the drag shows that take place at the end of each episode.
The program has a mature rating due to its language and dealings with heavy subject matters like suicide.
