Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday vetoed a new budget that he said will fund "pet projects" and will cost the city more money in the long run. A day later, the City Council overrode Frey's veto.

First, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey made history Wednesday when he vetoed the City Council’s budget for what is believed to be the first time in the city’s history. Then the council made history Thursday by overriding his veto.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced Wednesday afternoon that he is vetoing the 2025 budget approved by the city council late Tuesday night. The budget had passed with enough votes to override a veto.
