Despite garnering far more support in an online poll than the thicket of other suggestions, Fort Wayne's new government center is unlikely to be named after the city's longest tenured mayor, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reports.
Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy said naming the building the "Harry Baals Government Center" was probably not going to happen because, "We're not going to make any decisions that look bad."

Another blow to democracy.
Some newspapers (though fewer than one might think) are having fun with the headline for this story:

Counterfactual political history:
"Senator, I knew Harry Baals. Harry Baals was a friend of mine. You, Senator, are no Harry Baals."
6:02: Wow. I'd like to see that happen in a debate. It would be a real slap in the face with Harry Baals.
i resent the implication from the article that Harry Baals necessarily 'look bad'.
whoever made this decision will surely be sacked.
UCLA's main library is technically named the Hugh G. Dick Library.
Its gonna be built right next to the Mike Hunt Community Center.
