Aldermen Uphold Veto of Police Supervisors' Retro Sick Pay
The mayor felt it was not a fair deal to the city's other 1,600 union employees, who didn't get the same contractual option.
On Tuesday night the Nashua Board of Aldermen voted 8 to 7 to uphold a veto by Mayor Donnalee Lozeau affecting the Police Supervisors' collective bargaining agreement.
Voting to uphold the veto were: Aldermen Richard Dowd, MaryAnn Melizzi-Golja, Paul Chasse, Dan Moriarty, Mike Tabacsko, Kathy Vitale, Art Craffey and Brian McCarthy.
Voting to override the veto were: Aldermen Lori Wilshire, June Caron, Jim Donchess, Diane Sheehan, David Deane, Mark Cookson and Barbara Pressly.
