The council, citing an audit and fraud concerns, insists the office can be absorbed into other departments — but the mayor calls that “misguided.” Legal questions loom as council chair Tommy Waters challenges the mayor’s veto power, and a July 8 vote could decide whether the mayor’s moves stand — or if the council will override them with a tie-breaking 6-6 vote.
