This is relevant why exactly?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Carl Jordan doesn't actually have a vote on the Athens-Clarke County Commission anymore, does he ...

One major difference between the two versions is that Jordan wants businesses to turn off most lights, except those needed for security, after 11 p.m. or an hour after they close. Planning commissioners took out the curfew because they said it would force code enforcement officers to work late or police to enforce it.

... Jordan said he wants to delay a vote on the ordinance so commissioners can work on it more, but (Athens-Clarke County District Nine Commissioner Kelly) Girtz said he wants to make the changes now and stick to the scheduled April 6 vote.

"We could play ping-pong with this all year," he said. "I'd rather get it on the commission floor."


I mean, again, perhaps I missed some dramatic revision of the charter in recent weeks, but, seeing how he isn't exactly on the commission anymore, Jordan can't delay a vote on the ordinance. Just trying to understand why we should have a whole lot of handwringing over this whole thing.

  1. Isn't that what _we_ do, though? Provide annoying commentary/opinions?
