The town council in Davie, Florida, postponed a decision whether to remove a zoning board member for a "racist" cartoon she circulated of Seminole leader Max Osceola.
Karen Stenzel-Nowicki of the Planning and Zoning Board sent out a cartoon depicting a drum-beating, half-naked Osceola and a local non-Indian woman. She is defending her actions as free speech.
Local leaders, however, say the cartoon was offensive. They will decide on Stenzel-Nowicki's removal on July 5.
