Fairhope, Alabama
Update 1: Council president Burrell says he is unaware of the mayor's objections; does not know if the council may seek to over-ride the veto. "I do not know how the Council will vote. I guess it depends on what changes or edits the Mayor is proposing."
Update 2: The mayor's veto letter was added below.
NEEDS TO BE REEVALUATED?
Mayor Wilson has vetoed an ordinance approved unanimously by the city council during its last meeting regarding sleeping in vehicles and elsewhere "out of doors" in the city's police jurisdiction.
Wilson told the Times she and Police Chief Hollinghead decided some of the wording needed reworking/re-evaluating. Two-thirds of the city council (4) may vote to over-ride the veto at Monday's meeting if they choose to do so.
(We have asked councilman Burrell for comments but have not heard back yet; Mayor Wilson is to provide a fuller explanation shortly.)
