Town Council rescinds two May 3 ordinances after vetoes by Town Administrator Balzano. Debate centers on appointments to the Recreation Board and town purchasing powers, with support and opposition from council members and the solicitor amid Charter interpretations.
The Bristol Town Council asks Ruth Sanford of the Bristol League of Women Voters for clarification on housing statements linked to low income housing. Councilman Langelo proposes a formal letter requesting whether the league authorized its position and if the 1970 census figures, including 20 percent long-form sampling, underpin the statements.
Emilio Iannuccillo warns that vetoed ordinances backed by three pro-Balzano council members stretch the town charter. He argues the town charter assigns policy making to the council and keeps the administrator as administrator not legislator. The vetoes for two appropriation ordinances were sustained against the solicitor's advice.
