North Dakota: Lincoln Mayor facing petitions over use of vetoes

Lincoln Mayor Bob Johnston is now facing petitions over his persistent use of vetoes. Johnston vetoed a council decision to make water drainage repairs and a plan to allow a veto override with a 2/3rds council vote. A State Representative sponsored a bill (H2245) that would allow councils to override mayoral vetoes in North Dakota.

Petitioners need 25% of the 2012 turnout in 90 days.
