Councillors won’t rule out fountain donation from mayoral backer

City of Melbourne councillors are considering a proposed fountain gift from the Marcocci family, wealthy property developers who supported Lord Mayor Nick Reece's election campaign. Reece, pledging a $1-$5 million fountain to honor the Italian community, will recuse himself from discussions. Independent councillor Andrew Rowse emphasized that the proposal should be evaluated on its own merits.
