Thanks to a tip from Greg Kowalski, I note that the Common Council agenda for tomorrow night includes "Appointments: Kevin Haley - Plan Commission."
Haley was unceremoniously removed from the Plan Commission by Mayor Taylor in the middle of May. Evidently, the mayor has reconsidered. If so, kudos for a smart reversal of what for all intents and purposes looked like a case of commission-rigging.
Other potential good news on the same agenda: Don Dorsan, who had the right idea all along on what the quarry should have provided in terms of a useful bike and walking trail on 51st street, is appointed to the Parks Commission.

"commission-rigging." I like that.

For clarification this is what I am told by Sandi Wesolowski- Franklin City Clerk about commission members:
Members are on until reappointed, replaced after expiration, or removed by 3/4 majority vote of the Common Council.

It's my understanding that the mayor explicitly moved another commissioner to Haley's three-year term. It was not a passive expiration.
