An updated version of the so-called “Pay-to-Play” ordinance regulating campaign contributions approved by the Board of Alderman’s Legislative Matters Committee was formally vetoed by Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone in writing at the regular meeting of the Board last week.

The mayor had argued for a differing version of the ordinance, one featuring measures that would restrict city employee contributions, rather than the Boards version that focused on contributions made by property developers.
