San Francisco Board Expected To Override Mayor Gavin Newsom's Veto On 'Happy Meal Ban'

Mayor Gavin Newsom To Veto San Francisco's 'Happy Meal Ban,' Likely

The ordinance requires McDonald's and other fast-food servings with toys to meet new nutritional standards.

Newsom had indicated he would veto the law. That veto would be meaningless because the board approved the ordinance 8-3, a veto-proof margin. With eight votes, the board could override the veto.

The new law, which San Francisco officials hope other cities will adopt in battling a child obesity epidemic, was a defeat for McDonald's, which led the fight against the measure.
