MAYOR ROTH’S STATEMENT ON THE COUNCIL’S OVERRIDE OF BILL 152 VETO
Below is a statement from Mayor Roth regarding the Council’s decision to override the veto of Bill 152. The
legislation repeals existing provisions of the housing revolving fund and establishes nine specific uses for the
fund.
“We are extremely disappointed in the Council for their blatant disregard for our administration’s discretion,
particularly our Housing Administrator. It’s clear that they were trying to expand the uses allowed of the county
housing program revolving fund, but instead, what they’ve actually done is limit it. I stand by the discretion of
Administrator Kunz and will work with her to ensure that she can perform the duties of her job without one hand
tied behind her back. It is my hope that in the future, the Council will defer to subject matter experts before
making decisions over how they’re able to perform the duties of their job.”
