Sullivan says he won't veto fireworks law

Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan said Friday he will not veto a new law allowing residents to set off fireworks for three and a half hours New Years Eve.

Sullivan said Wednesday, a day after the city Assembly approved the new law, that he was thinking of vetoing it.

Separately, Sullivan said he will veto $85,000 approved by the Anchorage Assembly in the $435 million 2011 city budget Tuesday. The money was for an East Anchorage neighborhood plan.

Sullivan is leaving in place an Assembly decision Tuesday to restore $250,000 in next year's People Mover bus system budget.

Assembly chairman Dick Traini said the vetoed item will be brought up at next Tuesday's Assembly meeting to see if the Assembly wants to override the veto. It takes eight votes on the 11-member Assembly to override. The eastside planning money passed 6-5.
