SEATTLE (AP) — Angry people at a Seattle City Council meeting shouted for more time to discuss a vote Tuesday on repealing a tax on large businesses like Amazon that aimed to raise money to fight a homelessness crisis.

Supporters and opponents of the tax were talking for about an hour before Council President Bruce Harrell gave them more time. City leaders said they plan to repeal the tax just a month after unanimously approving it as they faced mounting pressure from companies.
