“We’re not a strong mayor we’re not a weak mayor, you’re a full time mayor with no authority, so I have all the responsibility but no authority.”
That’s what Warner Robins Mayor Chuck Shaheen told 13WMAZ Tuesday. It’s one reason he says he’s running for a seat on the city’s council instead of seeking re-election.
The Carl Vinson Institute at the University of Georgia calls the city’s mayoral position hybrid, because some aspects of the job are strong and others weak.
They said Warner Robins’ government structure sits in the gray area between a strong mayor system and weak mayor.
What that means is the Warner Robins mayor and council together can make changes. In fact the mayor only has one vote like any other member of council.
