If anything, the 5 council members should be thrown out like the garbage they are, and the mgr. should have his position reinstated. Those idiots shouldn't be sticking their noses into people's bedrooms.
The next article we will see (IMHO) will say "Former Town Manager retires in Style with money received from town"
As others have said - he should file suit. They have NO RIGHT to be involved with who this person marries!
It sounds like that town MADE it their right. It is their town, not yours, the people obviously didn't want that so let THEM do it. Don't like it, don't move there or visit.
I live in Fort Myers and this does not surprise me. And personally who really cares. She is not the town mananger. Sure would like to know who found out. Probably one of the other council members watching her video and thought damn, he's got a hot wife I am jealous, I am telling.
I did not say what she does is moral, personally I don't agree with it nor is it something I would ever do or want my children to do BUT it is not illegal and they do NOT have that right to fire him for what his wife does.
Janke and his wife are gonna be laughing all the way to the bank over this. All kinds of media cant get to Ft Myers Beach to cover this story fast enough.
And Ms Moore couldnt have bought this kind of publicity.....
Local news getting reaction from the folks, doesnt sound very favorable for the city council........
I would sue the bast**ds that fired me using this for an excuse for many, many times my salary and then insist in getting my job back. What a man's wife did or does for a living is none of the town's business.

If a civic leader does something that reflects badly on the city he represents even if legal (what if he was a big supporter of David Duke? or God forbid was against homo nuptials?) they should be abel to fire him. You lefties would be the first to ax anyone that steps out of your line.
Got to sum up my feelings on this topic in two points:
1. The reason they decided to fire him is somewhat distressing. No one should be judged on job performance based on who they are married to.
2. Per his contract, and the fact that Florida is a right to work state (at least it was last time I talked to my parents), this gentleman will have legal grounds to file a lawsuit. While the council acted poorly, they did indeed act legally.
I am sure that this publicity will do two things for him, he will most likely find another job from a city who wants to show how open minded they are, and his wife will now have a lot more exposure (no pun intended) for free due to this story.
