Russell Johnson will apparently get to serve out his term on the planning commission after Bakersfield City Councilman Ken Weir couldn't muster the votes to remove him Wednesday.

Our readers recommend:

Weir wanted to postpone the vote on whether to dump Johnson until June 11, but his proposal to delay the vote failed 5-2, with only Councilwoman Irma Carson joining him. After that, no council member was willing to make a motion to dump Johnson — although Councilman Harold Hanson asked if he could make the motion and then vote against it.
