FAIRHOPE, Ala. (AP) - Fairhope's city council voted to reject
the mayor's veto of a 2-cent sales tax approved by the council two
weeks ago.
Council president Debbie Quinn changed her position and voted
for the veto override Monday night. It's the city's first sales tax
in its 100-year history and goes into effect soon.
Mayor Tim Kant had urged a reduction in city expenses before
approving a sales tax.
