Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed vetoed a resolution funding bankrupt Jackson Hospital that unanimously passed the city council at their October 7 meeting.

The resolution didn't give a specific dollar amount the city would give to Jackson Hospital, but does express an intent to enter into a partnership with Montgomery County to "ensure the continuity and viability of healthcare services" to the citizens of Montgomery.

The city council will have an opportunity to override the veto at its next meeting on Tuesday. Jackson Hospital is currently in bankruptcy court and is attempting to secure additional funding to remain open beyond the end of October.
