• York mayor vetoes council push for increased contract oversight (centredaily.com) — York’s mayor has vetoed a City Council plan to lower the dollar threshold for contracts that require council approval, arguing it would slow emergency and routine work. Supporters say a flat $40,000 limit would improve transparency, especially as many city contracts currently list no dollar amounts online and must be requested through Right-to-Know filings.
