Thomas Taylor has been reinstated as mayor of White Sulphur Springs, capping off a months-long ordeal.



Media outlets report that Greenbrier Chief Circuit Judge Joseph C. Pomponio Jr. ordered Taylor's reinstatement on Friday.

Friday's decision comes two days after an investigation cleared him of allegations that he viewed view pornographic materials on a city computer.

Taylor resigned Sept. 25, and then notified the council three days later that he was rescinding the resignation. In November, he filed a petition in circuit court seeking reinstatement.

Taylor claims he was pressured into resigning. The council contended that Taylor's resignation was properly accepted and he couldn't rescind it.
