I seem to recall that in the late 18th century, towns and states, perhaps, coined or printed limited amounts of their own “money” to be used primarily in those areas? Later the C.S.A. did the same in the early 1860’s.
Is there still a legal option that the village board could use to print or coin more of their own local money to plug that deficit there?
Would that even work? for a while...?
The article indicated the Mayor vetoed a bill unanimously approved by the City Council, they must not have the ability to override a Mayor’s veto.
The mayor is using the taxpayer’s money as her own personal reparations fund, so it’s okay if she’s partying like a rock star.
