The Seattle City Council on Sept. 22 voted to override Mayor Jenny Durkan’s veto of bills that would slash police funding by roughly $3 million and cut jobs within the department.
The City Council voted 7–2 to override the proposals that were approved 7–1 in August. The bill included measures such as removing as many as 100 officers from several police units, and limiting staff salaries to $150,000, according to the Seattle Times.
