French lawmakers passed a special law on Tuesday to avoid a shutdown until a budget is adopted. Negotiations will resume in January.

The mayor's team said there should be an answer by Monday if he plans to veto this. If the budget is not signed by Dec. 30, the city would face an unprecedented shutdown. Mayor Johnson said he agrees with 98% of what's in the plan, but that 2% deeply concerns him, and that's the main focus at this point.
