Council overrides mayor’s veto

The Johns Creek City Council voted Monday to override Mayor Mike Bodker’s veto of a measure that freed city attorneys to cooperate in an investigation of possible information leaks by the mayor. The 5-1 vote clears the way for city attorneys to discuss private matters from closed City Council sessions.

Bodker vetoed the waiver last week saying it was too broad and could force the city to reveal legal and land acquisition strategies. Bodker recused himself from the vote. Councilwoman Kelly Stewart cast the lone dissent.
