Joliet Township residents attended a contentious meeting Tuesday night over an $8.6 million grant awarded to help fund resources and aid for asylum seekers."I don't believe you're fixing a problem, you're creating a problem," one speaker said.
"The purpose of this grant was to help our community partners who serve individuals beyond the county township and city boundaries," said Supervisor Angel Contreras. "This is a reactive request grant to address current issues, it was not intended to bring more people to our areas." "We cannot meet the needs of these people," said John Sheridan, president of the Cunningham Neighborhood council.
City Council leaders, including Joliet's mayor, said they were aware of the townships effort's to obtain the grant, but did not provide input.
