Veto & Override

Mayor Leeser has the ability to veto the raise approved by council for the city manager. Well, I should say he had the ability to do so, time ran out over the weekend and he can no longer do so as I understand it. 

I sent a text to all member of council with the exception of Rep Carl Robinson. 

I don't have a cell number for him.

Typically members of council are pretty good at getting back to me when I have a question. 

But it looks like they were trying to kill the clock on this one. 

I sent the text out yesterday and here is what it said, "If Mayor Leeser vetoed the raise in order to give the public an opportunity to weigh in on the issue, would you vote to override his veto?"

Here are the answers of all the various members of council in order of their district. I'll have much more on this later today.
