Fla. Town Employee Fired Over Porn Actress Wife
Town Officials Say They Had To Think About Their Community

The mayor of a small southwest Florida town on Thursday defended the town council's decision to fire its city manager after officials learned his wife is an adult film actress.

Mayor Larry Kiker insisted that Scott Janke's termination had nothing to do with his spouse's job, that the town was merely trying to maintain order.

"What we were addressing was a situation where we weren't going to be able to govern the town with all the disruption and interruption," Kiker said.

The plan appears to have backfired.

"I've done over 30 interviews (with media) ... I've gotten hundreds of e-mails, we're getting threatened," Kiker said. "Nobody is getting any work done around here."

Still, Kiker insisted that Janke wasn't fired because of his wife's job.

"We didn't fire him because his wife was a porn star," Kiker griped, adding that the decision wasn't a "knee-jerk reaction."

However, the mayor also noted: "It was not his job performance. We all liked Scott ... He's a good guy."

Kiker said he learned of Janke's wife's job after receiving a telephone call from a reporter on Tuesday. He said he then spoke to Janke, who agreed "this was going to be a big disruption for the town and he was not going to be able to do his job well."

5. Oh, good lord...
Who the hell cares?
Other people having a problem with it DOES NOT MEAN he'll have trouble doing his job - it just means that some people out there are going to get their panties in a bunch.

A "no cause" firing... what will they think of next?

6. I wonder how many city council members watch porn in the privacy of their homes
But reality is not what counts, only appearances to the eyes of the God fearin' church goin' members of that Florida community, who probably are also watching the same porn in the privacy of their homes.
