Summary
The Charter Review Commission unanimously opposes the citizen petition that would give a single council member veto power over above-inflation budget increases, and instead recommends an eight-vote (two-thirds) threshold. The Council must decide by June 30 whether to put its own amendment on the ballot; President Fani-González worries a competing measure would confuse voters.
