VETO ORDINANCE NO. 01-48
',\hilt I do not disagree with ordinance in total l do disagree with two (2) sections. Section 1
va,'a~raph A states ' Seven (7) Reguhu' Members shall be appointed by the Mayor with
'~,~,icea,dconsentofBoronghCouncil". This has been an appointment by the Mayor onl)
::~::e the inception of the UEZ. It is another ordimmce being changed fo lak~' i)ower a,~ ay
~,w ~he i~osition of Mayor. More importantly it is being done becanse the Regular Members
disa~,'ce with the Com~cil on bnsinesses paying 25'~ ~1' any work done i, the I IEZ. Cie:n%'
thc ~ml~ way {o gel their way was lo change tile ordinance.
J also disagree *~ith section 4. which states," The lerms of the present members of the
B,ard ol Trustees and the Zone Development Officer shall expire on Decelnber 31, 2001. As
culled above this Conncil found that the only way to get what they wan~ed was ~o ,'emove
flit)se who disagreed with them. Which is a terrible mistake. Disagreement is a good for
XlUl,icipa[ Govermnent, it allows fi)r checks nod balances and in depth discussio,. They
[lavc allowed their egos, their need to conl~'ol all aronnd them alld their desire to remove ali
thal I[ley call fl'olll the position of Mayor to muddy their thought process. The> ha~e again
.iai:ed Ihe ln'Ogcess of this Borough.
