A former Indiana mayor who won four terms in the 1930s and 1950s is proving less popular with modern-day city leaders, who say they probably won't name a new government center for him because of the jokes his moniker could inspire.
Harry Baals is the runaway favorite in online voting to name the new building in Fort Wayne, about 120 miles northeast of Indianapolis. But Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy said that probably won't be enough to put the name of the city's longest-tenured mayor on the center.

I know I am going to hell for this but I laughed for a good five minutes on this.

I think they are over reacting, sure people will laugh but it will get old within a month or so and people will move on. If anything it may help tourism with people wanting to go there and take pictures outside with the sign behind them.
