Fla. town fires manager married to porn star

By DAVID FISCHER, AP

MIAMI – A South Florida town manager who married a porn star last year was fired at an emergency meeting after the mayor and council members learned about it.

Fort Myers Beach town council voted 5-0 to fire Scott Janke "without cause" after Mayor Larry Kiker called the Tuesday night meeting.

Kiker said he learned that afternoon that Janke's wife is an adult film star, and the elected officials took the action a few hours later.

"At no time did we make a judgment call on the activities of Mr. Janke or his wife," Kiker told The Associated Press. "It's a matter of how effective he becomes after this situation. How much disruption there is."

Adult Industry News recently reported that Janke's wife, Anabela Mota Janke, goes by the stage name Jazella Moore.

Kiker said a clause in Janke's contract permitted the council to fire him with a majority vote. He said he considers the Jankes friends.

"Our heads are held high," Scott Janke said. "We have nothing to be embarrassed about. We've done nothing wrong."

Janke said the mayor called him before the meeting, but didn't invite him to attend. He said Kiker called after the meeting to tell him the outcome, and Janke said he hasn't heard from him or any council member since. Janke will get a severance package worth six months salary, which comes to about $50,000, plus health benefits.

Janke said he and his wife were married in October and are taking care of their three teenage children. He wouldn't comment on any possible legal action against the town.

Kiker acknowledged that Janke had violated no rules or laws and added that he had done a good job for the island town that had about 6,500 people, according to the 2000 Census. But the mayor was concerned whether Janke could remain effective and not distract the community from the business of the town along the state's west coast.

And for those who want a "little Moore" :rofl: :nod:

It doesn't sound like he has a legal leg to stand on. They can fire him for a good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all. Just so long as it's not an illegal reason like race, sex, or hadicap. Your choice of spouse is not a good reason, but it ain't illegal either.

He's being discriminated against for his choice of spouse which I would bet they wouldn't get away with if the guy was gay so I doubt they'll get away with it here either. They may be able to fire him for any reason but that doesn't mean they can discriminate against him and get away with it.

Hiring/firing laws vary by state. My state is a right to work state, and most employer/employee contracts are "at will."

Now, that being said, my wife works at a law firm, and they get wrongful termination cases all the time including these "at will" contracts. If this happened in my state, believe me, the employers would rue this decision after the smoke had cleared. :nod:

As a former city manager I can speak from experience that it will likely depend on the exact wording of his contract on how far he can take this. My last contract said I could be removed for any reason at any time by majority vote of the council. However if I was let go without cause I was entitled to a severance package per the agreement. In my case the severance package was severe enough to make sure that if they wanted to let me go for some stupid reason it was going to cost them and hopefully it might make them think twice about it. Those that go into the city manager profession learn that being let go for no good reason is part of the job. Getting fired from a city manger job is not usually a huge negative like it might be in other industries. Sometimes it can be viewed as a plus because it may show that you are willing to push change, take on the old guard, whatever. The guy I replaced at my last job has been fired 3 times now and he still gets hired (and he's been fired each time because he's incompetent - not for some stupid reason).

My guess is that this guy will hire a lawyer, threaten to sue, get some additional severance and legal fees covered and go on his merry way.
