VETO POWER TO GAGE UP HEEL
Council and Aldermanic Board deadlock over the budget persists after a Tuesday conference with Mayor Woodward and Finance Chairman Humphrey. Humphrey pledges to back the budget to the last using vetoes if needed, while Aldermanic Board members push for amendments. Mayor accuses blockers of paralyzing city business. Thomson says the fight centers on whether the Finance Committee controls expenditure or the council has a voice. Pryor Street improvement funding becomes a flashpoint with $15,000 in the budget, cut to $7,500, then eliminated by latest amendment. Council aims for compromise, while mayor argues changes would merely shift funds between projects.
