The Alexandria City Council voted 5-2 to again adopt the amended 2021-22 budget, overturning the mayor s veto and perhaps setting up a showdown in court.
One week after the Alexandria City Council passed an amended budget for the 2021-22 fiscal year, Mayor Jeff Hall on Tuesday vetoed it, saying it violated the city charter.
That means some projects and raises for employees, police officers and firefighters will be delayed. The city s fiscal year begins on May 1.
In a release, Hall said he wouldn t be bullied into undermining the foundation of our community.
At its April 20 meeting, the council approved by a 4-3 vote an amendment from District 4 Councilwoman Catherine Davidson to move a budget surplus from the police department from the old fiscal year into the new budget.
