No charges for Jabour

I saw State Attorney Harry Shorstein and asked about another City Council matter - a judge voiding Councilman Jay Jabour's election because he lived outside of the residency boundaries for his seat. Shorstein told me that he would not pursue an investigation or any criminal charges against Jabour. Registering to vote outside at a district not assigned to your legal residence is a third-degree felony under state law. "You have a good judge who made a decision," Shorstein said, pointing out that Jabour has an opportunity to appeal. "Judge Nachman is not the last word."

Jabour was elected this spring, so he is not a part of the Sunshine investigation.
