Democrat DuPage County Chairman Deb Conroy has given a $30,000 DuPage taxpayer grant to "Naperville Neighbors United," a Democrat party advocacy group run by Democrat Naperville City Council member and former mayoral candidate Benny White.
Naperville Neighbors United (NNU) celebrates and promotes the activities of non-whites and non-Christians in Naperville, also hosting campaign events attended by Naperville Democrat politicians. Isn’t that a little “discriminatory”? I thought Naperville was big on “inclusion”.

Government should stay out of this business. Public tax dollars shouldn’t be spent on this crap. Stick with the basics of serving the public. If the public wants to contribute, let them. Sudden public money contribution that is more than this organization had amassed in 4 years…come on – what’s going on here. As an aside, I am all in for veteran benefits, but wow, a benefit that allows this dude to have $0 property taxes in Naperville ($25K savings)…that is pretty amazing.

Look for more shows at the county fair, festivals, etc. featuring a drag queen preaching acceptance of the drag lifestyle to small children dressed in a dominatrix costume and looking like Divine as happened in Lake Co. recently.

How is NNU part of the Democrat Party? I don’t see anything on the website showing that or preventing Republicans from participating.

Explain why a Republican would join this group.
