Town manager fired for marrying porn star

The town of Fort Myers Beach, Florida, must have nothing more important to worry about than policing city employees' private lives.

The town council has voted 5 to 0 to fire the town manager "without cause" after discovering that he had married a porn star.

At least the town council was honest when they said the firing was "without cause." They acknowledged that the town manager had broken no laws or city rules - so the firing really is "without cause", isn't it?

If there isn't a lawsuit against the city, I'll just bip.

Florida claims to be a "right-to-work" state, but we all know that this phrase has nothing to do with the actual right to not lose your job over nothing. "Right-to-work" laws are about union-busting, not about keeping people from being wrongly fired. In effect, these laws make it easier to fire most workers for no good reason.

If there is a lawsuit, I'd love to see what idiotic defense the city can conjure in a weak attempt to justify the firing.

This story sounds straight out of the pages of the Taliban.
