Veto of police academy stands

An effort by a new Anchorage Assembly member to challenge Mayor Dan Sullivan over his veto of funding for a police academy fizzled Tuesday. Paul Honeman, a former police lieutenant, was pushing for the city to spend $200,000 this year to gear up for a police academy early next year. The Assembly had put the money into this year’s budget. But Sullivan vetoed it, saying the timing was off. The money could be in next year’s budget for an academy late in 2011, the mayor said.
