The Anchorage Assembly has overridden most of Mayor Dave Bronson’sThe largest veto overridden Tuesday night totaled roughly $1.2 million for Brother Francis shelter to permanently increase its capacity to 120 people. Ordinarily the shelter serves 75 people, but it has been at a surge capacity of 120 since July.
Bronson chief of staff Adam Trombley told the Assembly that the mayor vetoed the funding because he heard from Brother Francis that it could not increase capacity. However, Robin Dempsey said that’s not true. Dempsey is executive director of Catholic Social Services, which oversees Brother Francis. “Through the chair, perfect,” Trombley responded.
The Assembly voted 8-3 to override all but two of the mayor’s vetoes. It did not override the veto of funding for more security in Assembly chambers. It also voted to fund outreach on the alcohol tax separate from next year’s budget.
