Woman behind racist cartoon of Seminole leader stays


A woman behind a racist cartoon of a prominent Seminole Tribe leader won't lose her job in the town of Davie, Florida.

Karen Stenzel-Nowicki circulated a cartoon that depicted Seminole council member Max Osceola as a drum-beating, half-naked beast. Local leaders called it highly offensive.

A meeting was held Wednesday night to discus Stenzel-Nowicki's position on the town's Planning and Zoning Board. By a 3-2 vote, the town council narrowly preserved her job.
