Pete Kosovich belongs on the Franklin Plan Commission

The Franklin Common Council tonight will consider Mayor Taylor’s appointment of former Alderman Pete Kosovich to the Plan Commission.

Kosovich is an excellent choice and should be approved by the Council.

Kosovich is a small businessman with knowledge of local ordinances, state rules and regulations, and has had experience in dealing with Franklin business and economic development issues. He would be a perfect fit for the Plan Commission.

To suggest that Kosovich is just a TV repairman is insulting and out of line. Kosovich is a small businessman who dedicated himself to public service and wants to do it again.

Was he thrown out of office? Sure, if you consider losing by such a narrow margin that a recount was necessary being “thrown out of office.”

Political boards and commissions all across the state are filled with appointees of people who once held public office who bring a wealth of institutional knowledge to the table.

I am confident Kosovich will be a great addition to the Plan Commission. He needs to be approved at tonight’s meeting.
