CHATTANOOGA CITY COUNCIL WISELY MOVES TOWARDS EMPOWERING VOTERS IN DISTRICT 6
Yesterday, the Chattanooga City Council voted and passed a motion that will eventually empower the voters of District 6 to make the final decision about their next city council member.
The council decided to delay choosing an interim council member until after the November 15 deadline for qualifying candidates running for the District 6 seat on February 5, 2007. In essence, this delay will narrow the field of applicants whose intention is NOT to run for the District 6 seat.
Some council members believe this process will allow for a fairer and clearer outcome. We at the Hamilton County Democratic Party agree that this is a step in the right direction. The council also decided to extend to October 31 the deadline for applicants to the interim position. Thank you for your leadership, city council members.
