Topekans voted nearly 2-to-1 Tuesday to give the city council the right to override mayoral vetoes.
Voters by a margin of 65 percent to 35 percent — 14,109 votes to 7,714 — approved Charter Ordinance No. 98 making changes in the city’s charter, which is basically its constitution.
I am happy this passed. Without the city council having override power, the mayor would, in reality, be a dictator. That just wouldn't work for this, or any, city.
