Taunton Mayor Thomas Hoye will meet with the Governor's Council for a hearing after what one councilor described as a concerning appointment process.

Hoye, who has served as mayor since 2012 says he plans to resign from his current office and will not run in this year's election.

Attorney Christopher Carreiro says he filed requisite statements and other elections documents with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance late last week.
