💰Mayor LaToya Cantrell vetoed the City Council's approved budget late Friday, saying it relies on furloughs and revenue that weren't in her proposed budget. (Statement)
Mayor-elect Helena Moreno came up with the new budget with other council members, saying Cantrell's 30% across-the-board cut was like a bulldozer.
Council President JP Morrell said Cantrell is having a "temper tantrum" and says the council is expected to override her veto this week. (Statement)
🏛️ Moreno says she won't have an inaugural ball in January amid the city's budget crisis. She also canceled the mayor's Mardi Gras ball.
The inauguration is Jan. 12 at the Saenger, where former Vice President Kamala Harris kicks off her book tour the next day.
Will Harris be at her friend's inauguration? Moreno only confirmed dignitaries will be at the invite-only ceremony. (Full schedule)
