Mayor Swinford veto blocks timeclock removal
Mayor Donald Swinford used his veto Monday night to block the Herrin City Council's 5 to 3 vote to remove a timeclock at the city garage. The measure cited alleged discriminatory aspects and labor-management distrust, with several council members supporting removal and others defending the device as a fair wage-tracking tool. Swinford defended committee governance and noted legal non-discrimination. A two-thirds council majority would be needed to override the veto.
