City Council overrides mayor’s veto on Fire Station No. 7
September 2, 2008 at 3:52 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsDespite warnings of decreased public services and reassurances that its shuttering wouldn’t affect response times, the Atlanta City Council today voted 11-3 to override Mayor Shirley Franklin’s veto of their plan to re-open Fire Station No. 7 in Southwest Atlanta.
The council’s plan involves sluicing $1.12 million from various municipal departments to pay for the historic station’s operating and maintenance costs.
The legislation now heads back to the mayor’s desk, where she will douse it in gasoline and set it ablaze.
