The head planner for the city and the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency voted in Georgia in the November election while claiming Tennessee residency, according to voter records.
Dan Reuter was appointed to the post in January 2022, and he said he has been a Chattanooga resident since then.
As an employee of the city, Reuter is required by city code to live in Tennessee, though his agency does planning for a larger region that spans Hamilton County and parts of Georgia.
“I’ve spent over 1,000 nights sleeping here,” Reuter said in a phone call. “I’m pretty sure I’m a resident.”
