Denver mayor pushed out transportation chief with $22K severance deal
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston pushed out his transportation director with a severance deal that barred her from criticizing his administration, according to a separation agreement first reported by 9NEWS and obtained by Axios. Why it matters: The circumstances surrounding Amy Ford's departure raise fresh transparency questions for the mayor's office, which has repeatedly faced criticism for withholding information from the public. Driving the news: Johnston asked Ford on Oct. 9 to resign as executive director after three years in the role. Ford agreed to leave Dec. 4 in exchange for $22,525 in severance, under an agreement that restricts her from disparaging Johnston or his administration. Catch up quick: When the mayor's office announced her departure Nov. 2, it made no mention of the requested resignation or agreement, instead saying Ford was pursuing another role.

Johnston spokesperson Jon Ewing similarly told Axios the two had reached a "mutual understanding," confirming that the mayor initiated the conversation. Context: Ford's ousting comes as the city's transportation department has come
