Council backs humane agent bid amid mayoral clash
About 42 residents packed the City Council chamber to back the Hocking County Humane Society and urge Mayor Merril Haney to allow Rodney Crow to operate as humane agent in the city. Four council members voted yes. Ed Dalton voted no, citing concerns about Crow and the handling of the issue. Dalton had not met Crow or discussed the matter with Haney. The council lacked authority to compel the mayor, and urged a reappraisal. The meeting also authorized gasoline purchases for emergencies, reviewed various ordinances, and rejected a parking-land lease offer on Main Street.
