Jordan Levy is an American
politician and talk radio
host from Worcester, Massachusetts
. He served as the Mayor of Worcester on two occasions, first from 1981 to 1982 and the second time from 1988–93. He is the host of The Jordan Levy Show on WTAG
(580-AM) from 3–6 PM on weekdays.
When Levy first became mayor, Worcester had a Plan E government, the office of mayor was a largely ceremonial office. City government in Worcester was organized as a 9-member council (all at-large), a ceremonial mayor elected from the council by the councilors, and a council-appointed city manager. The manager oversees the daily administration of the city, makes all appointments to city offices, and can be removed at any time by a majority vote of the Council. The mayor chairs the city council and the school committee, and does not have the power to veto any vote.
In 1987 Levy was elected as mayor, he was the first popularly elected mayor in 40 years. For the 1987 elections Worcester had changed the city charter. This "Home Rule" charter (named for the method of adoption of the charter) is similar to Plan E, the major changes being to the structure of the council and the election of the mayor. The 9-member Council became 11, 6 At-Large and 1 from each city district. The mayor is chosen by popular election, but must run as an At-Large Councilor.
