Good Cause Eviction Veto Overridden 7-0

When Mantello vetoed Good Cause Eviction in March, the vote was 7-0 against her. When the council overrode her in April, it was 7-0 again. Every Republican-aligned council member who had voted against Good Cause was gone, replaced in November 2025 by Democrats who had campaigned on it. The new council wasted little time.
