"Term Limit For Mayor Lacking Feds' OK", March 20, 1981

1981-03-20

1980-1989

Newspaper article on the U.S. Justice Department's informing of Atlanta officials that it had no record of ever having approved the city's two-term limitation for mayor, meaning that the city would likely have to resubmit their charter for approval and that the two-term limit would possibly not be legally enforceable. Mayor Maynard Jackson had previously stated that he would not seek a third term, but this ruling offered the potential to reopen the debate. 1 page.
