But rather who you marry……
I have heard just about every reason for firing someone, but this one is one for the record books.
From a report by Trina Hoaks for the examiner.com:
According to MSNBC, what Mayor Kiker did was call an emergency meeting this past Tuesday night to vote on whether Janke should be removed from his position. Though Kiker maintains that he and council members did not make a judgment call on Janke or his wife, they ousted Janke in a 5-0 vote.
They fired him “‘without cause.'” According to the report, Janke’s contract allowed for him to be fired by vote. Janke will receive a “severance package worth six months salary, which comes to about $50,000, plus health benefits,” said the report.
Janke said in the report that he and his wife have nothing to feel sorry for as they have done nothing wrong. And, although it was fully acknowledged by the mayor that Jankl had done nothing wrong, he reportedly was “concerned whether Janke could remain effective and not distract the community from the business of the town along the state’s west coast.”
There is no word from Janke as to whether he will seek legal action against the town.
Personally, I would sue their dicks into the dirt….who I married is none of anyone’s business…maybe the mayor is just pissed that Janke may be getting it regular.
