For three consecutive meetings, residents and nearby community members have pushed council members to take a stand on the Israel-Hamas War and chastised them for not addressing the issue locally. “To be clear, the city council does not intend to initiate a ceasefire resolution,” Mayor Scott Wehrli said. “This situation is clearly outside the scope of our local municipal government.”
Once upon a time foreign policy was a Washington, DC matter.

What part of “clearly outside the scope of our local municipal government” do these people not understand? Just because other cities have caved to virtue signaling on this issue doesn’t mean Naperville has to. In the mean time, real city business and issues are not getting done. I’m proud of our mayor for not giving in.

They should take a stand, initiate a resolution that Hamas should release hostages and surrender.
