Chip Henderson is proposing that Chattanooga move city elections from March to the month when federal or state elections are held. The vice chairman of the Chattanooga City Council says the move could save the city $100,000 dollars of taxpayer money per election. However, Dr. Richard Wilson, a political science professor at UTC, says he thinks moving city elections would cause problems. He says it could lead to voter confusion and greater partisan influence in what have traditionally been nonpartisan elections.
