PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Mayor Nutter’s long-running contract dispute with the firefighters union boiled over in City Council this past week. The lawmakers overrode a Nutter veto and ordered millions of dollars set aside to pay for the contract.
Mayor Nutter had earlier vetoed Councilman David Oh’s bill that would force the mayor to earmark $66-million toward the firefighters award, to be used if the contract dispute is settled in the union’s favor.
This past week, Council members unanimously overrode the veto, and Oh says that money must now be earmarked.
