BLUE RIDGE, GA – After an all day hearing regarding the residential status of Post One Candidate Jane Whaley, a decision has been made by Election Superintendent Barbie Gerald.
It has been decided that Jane Whaley does not meet certain criteria to continue her bid for City Council.
In official letter stating the decision it says in part:
As noted previously, Section 2.10(b) of the City Charter requires that in order for a person to be eligible to serve as a Councilmember upon the City Council of the City of Blue Ridge, the person must have been a resident of the City for 12 months immediately preceding the election of the Councilmember. Under Mrs. Whaley’s own testimony, she did not reside within the city for 12 month period, and therefore does not meet this qualification requirement to be a candidate of the Post One seat upon the Blue Ridge City Council in the 2017 General Election to be held on November 7, 2017.
