Government Official Forced To Resign When Caught Up In Cross Dressing Scandal

A Cranston, Rhode Island official has resigned after allegedly having a male bus driver dress up as an elderly woman during a press conference to unveil a new initiative, the Providence Journal reported.

Sue Stenhouse, the now former executive director of senior services for Cranston, disguised a man who works for the Cranston Senior Enrichment Center by putting him in a wig, floral shirt, and makeup before a press conference in order to boost support for a plan to help seniors combat bad weather, according to the Journal. For some extra convincing, he also wore a hand-written nametag that read: “Cranston Senior Home Resident.’’

It aired that evening on NBC 10 in Providence, and by the end of the week, Stenhouse had resigned, according to the Journal.
