Rochester Mayor Kim Norton Vetoes Two City Council Decisions
Rochester Mayor Kim Norton has issued two vetoes on recent city council decisions, marking her first vetoes of the year and the 13th and 14th since taking office in 2019. The vetoes concern a proposed design for the Willow Creek Trail and the relocation of commercial wood debris management operations. The trail design, which would pass through private property, faced opposition from the property owner, while the relocation plan involved using $350,000 in contingency funds. Norton expressed concerns about the legal and financial implications of these decisions, suggesting alternative solutions and emphasizing the need for further discussion.
