Dates, plans of WHO expert visit to China under negotiation

WILKES-BARRE &mdash; Mayor George Brown Wednesday exercised his veto power over the 2021 budget amended by a majority of City Council.
				Brown called the surplus of $1.1 million in the amended budget unrealistic and said he will go back to the budget he proposed back in October.
				&ldquo;I think it is imperative that the city has a balanced, realistic budget based on historical data. I realize that my budget will be partially underfunded because of the projections for sewer and recycling fees,&rdquo; Brown said in a prepared statement. &ldquo;However, I promise city residents I will keep a diligent eye on city revenues and expenditures in 2021 and will do everything in my power to continue to provide the same services our residents both deserve and expect.&rdquo;
