You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.89.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 18:20, 24 March 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ronald C. Littlefield''' (born 1946) is an American [[Politics of the United States|politician]] and the former [[mayor of Chattanooga|mayor]] of [[Chattanooga, Tennessee]]. He was elected via a [[run-off election]] in 2005 after a long term as a [[city council]]man.<ref>[http://www.wdef.com/node/5152 "Our Town Chattanooga Then and Now Part Six: An Amazing Transformation for The Most Polluted City"], Nordia Epps, [[WDEF-TV]], May 16, 2007 ((webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009134657/http://www.wdef.com/node/5152 |date=October 9, 2007 ))</ref> He was reelected in 2009. He is the former [[executive director]] of Chattanooga Venture.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.chattanooga.gov/Mayors_Office/MayorsOffice_BiographyofMayorLittlefield.htm|title = Mayor's Office))</ref>

==Career==
Littlefield began his professional career as a city planner with the Tennessee State Planning Commission in 1970 working with suburban cities and counties around Chattanooga.  His early efforts led to the adoption of Tennessee "Scenic Routes" legislation in 1971 and to some of the first environmental regulations and controls limiting signs and billboards. In the early 1970s, he worked for Research Triangle Institute under a contract with the then new US Environmental Protection Agency on studies of the health effects of air pollution in Chattanooga. In 1978 he became a charter member of the American Institute of Certified Planners. He later served as director of economic development for the City of Chattanooga – a position that ultimately led to his heading a joint economic development operation for the surrounding Hamilton County and the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce. In 1982, he was selected to head Chattanooga Venture – a special purpose nonprofit organization aimed at transforming Chattanooga. At Venture he oversaw the production of Vision 2000 – one of the first comprehensive "Visioning" projects in the United States – which ultimately involved dozens of meetings and approximately 3000 local citizens. this effort is frequently cited as the turning point that led to Chattanooga's transformation. In 1986, he left Chattanooga Venture to run for local political office. In 1987, he was elected Commissioner of Public Works under the old commission form of government that was in place in Chattanooga at that time. In that office, he led an effort to reform the local government by abandoning the commission form and adopting a more modern strong mayor / council form with legislative representatives selected from single member districts. After drafting a new charter and a failed referendum to adopt that charter, the Federal Courts got involved and ordered the change to become effective in 1990. At that time, Littlefield ran for and was elected to the first city council and was further selected as the council's first chairman. Littlefield served through the first council term and then ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 1993. After several years working in the private sector and as a planning consultant for other governments, Littlefield ran successfully for his old position on the Chattanooga City Council and once again was chosen as chairman. He served out that term on the council until mounting a second and this time successful campaign for mayor in 2001 – following Bob Corker, who left after one term to run for the US Senate.

==Recall==
As part of a national movement by conservative political organizations that affected more than 50 mayors across the United States,<ref>US Conference of Mayors "Recall Fever in the U.S." April 6, 2011; Governing Magazine "The Rise of the Recall Election" April 2011</ref> Ron Littlefield became the subject of a recall effort in August 2010.  A petition complaining of high taxes, water quality fees and annexation was circulated and filed by [[Tea Party movement|Chattanooga Tea Party]], the citizens group "Chattanooga Organized for Action" and "Citizens to Recall Mayor Littlefield"<ref name='Added2incujtion'>((cite news | first = Cliff | last = Hightower | title = Chattanooga: Circuit Court judge rules petitioners can intervene in recall lawsuit Littlefield filed against Hamilton County Election Commission | date = 2010-09-03 | url = http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/sep/03/chattanooga-circuit-court-judge-rules-petitioners-/ | work = Chattanooga Times Free Press | access-date = 2010-09-03))</ref><ref>((cite book|chapter=Recallers Pass Number Of Names Needed For Littlefield|chapter-url=http://chattanoogan.com/articles/article_182785.asp |title=Recallers Pass Number Of Names Needed For Littlefield Recall   |author=Anonymous |publisher=Chattanoogan |year=2010))</ref><ref name='tea-COFA'>((cite news | first = Dave | last = Flessner |author2=Cliff Hightower  | title = Recall election may offer quick path to office | date = 2010-08-29 | url = http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/aug/29/recall-election-may-offer-quick-path-office/ | work = Chattanooga Times Free Press | access-date = 2010-09-02))</ref> Littlefield filed an injunction against the Hamilton County election commission, a judge later added Jim Folkner of Citizens to Recall Mayor to the defendants to decide while attempting to decide if the recall is valid. On September 7, 2010, the recall attempt was halted in a ruling by Hamilton County Circuit Judge Jeff Hollingsworth, who cited the recall groups' failure to comply with state law on a variety of issues related to the petition language, number of dated signatures, the use of petitions not approved by the election commission and other legal and organizational missteps made by the three groups involved. As a result of the ruling, Ron Littlefield remained mayor until the end of his term in 2013.<ref name="Added2incujtion"/>
