Refusing to sign IS the veto. In this Pittsburgh case the bill was passed with a veto-proof majority, meaning it does not require a signature to become an enforceable ordinance. However, the Pittsburgh city council like the Philadelphia one has no power to pass such ordinances (being specifically restrained from doing so by state law) so it's all basically moot posing. Unless they find some asinine wannabe jack booted thug, stick a badge on him, and get him to violate his oath by attempting to enforce this mere opinion in defiance or ignorance of the law.
