Not one member of the council said during the meeting they wanted to see a resolution on a coming agenda.
A procession of people came to their second consecutive Waukegan City Council meeting asking members to place a resolution on a coming agenda supporting a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war.Not one member of the council said during the meeting they wanted to see a resolution on a coming agenda, and Mayor Ann Taylor’s position remained the same as it was a fortnight ago.
Ahmad Hamdan of Waukegan expressed disappointment council members have yet to act. Though the conflict is taking place approximately 6,000 miles away, he said American tax dollars are being used to supply some of the weapons used. Before the May 6 meeting, Taylor said dealing with international conflicts is not the role of a municipal government. When she works with state or federal officials, it is done to bring benefits to Waukegan.
“While your voice as a city council might seem, and very well be, insignificant in the stage of international politics, it does not absolve any of us from the responsibility to speak for the preservation and protection of human life,” Rollenhagen said.
