City Hall Vetoes Complicate August City Council
Veto messages were sent to the branch where the measure originated as a dispute over three items looms. A $25,000 paying order and Boisvert land purchase in Centralville head to the mayor for possible veto. The Ennell street site price prompts concern, with no built project likely this year. Mayor Howe is away in Maine and expected back later in the week as the council resists a usual August recess. The water board met for routine business Tuesday night.
