MUNCIE -- Mayor Sharon McShurley is fighting city council's decision to cut funding for street lights, fire hydrants and police fuel in 2010.

But she is willing to live with the council's decision to eliminate deputy mayor Dick Shirey's job.

"If they believe it's in the city's best interest not to have a deputy mayor, then I defer to that position," she said.

On Monday, McShurley vetoed 29 line items within the 2010 budget.
