CITY MANAGER LOSES JOB OVER WIFE’S OCCUPATION

Fort Meyers Beach, Fl fired its manager after learning he is married to an adult video actress. The town council voted to terminate the contract of its manager, Scott Janke, and then held a meeting Wednesday night to explain its actions to town residents. The town council says her profession brings an inappropriate and negative image to a place that prides itself on being family-friendly.

That’s the bumps and grinds of politics, pardon the play on words.


TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I don’t know why, but I have this persistent feeling that this isn’t the same country it once was.
(Darla – Ketchum, ID)
A. It’s not. It has been drastically changed in the past 20 years, most significantly in the last six months. We’ve come to expect and accept crime and corruption in politics, our fundamental social structure and its mores have been eroded, and we’ve seen an enormous transfer of power from the people to the White House. It is indeed a new country, and I for one do not like it one damned bit.

Q. I understand there was a big scare in India that the solar eclipse would be the end of the world. Obviously, it didn’t happen, so what do they have to say about that?
(Marla – Newport News, VA)
A. I don’t know but, have you tried to get Customer Service on the line about your computer lately?

Q. I heard that Senator Harry Reid said that the Health Care Plan vote won’t take place until at least September. Is that true?
(James – Yonkers, NY)
A. Maybe. What amazes me is that his statement is the first intelligent thing he’s said since he went to Washington.
