Bon Jovi, Soul being sued

A Jenkintown man has filed suit against Jon Bon Jovi and his partners with the Philadelphia Soul.

Joseph Krause, the former sales manager of the Soul, claims he is owed nearly $125,000 in wages and commissions. According to the suit, Krause alleges he was owed $83,359 in commission for the 2008 season and $41,456 in commission for the canceled '09 season. He was offered just $5,000 as a severance package.

Also named in the complaint are co-owner Craig Spencer; Leo Carlin Jr., a member of the team's ownership group, and Paul Korzilius, the team's interim general manager.

The Arena Football League announced on December 15 that the 2009 season would be suspended while a long-term plan to improve its economic model is developed. .
