It was a disappointing night on March
13 for peace activists in the Northwoods.
A resolution to support an international ban on nuclear weapons failed
to get a majority of votes by the Duluth City Council. The vote was 4 to 4, meaning that the motion
failed. Voting in support of the
resolution were Councilors Randorf, Mayou, Awal and Anderson, voting against
were Kennedy, Forsman, Hobbs and Alstead.
This setback comes on the heels of every single Superior City Councilor
declining to even bring this up for a vote before that body. Nevertheless, we
want to thank you though to all of the
activists from the Twin Ports Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, and everyone
else who turned out to show their support for the resolution. Stay tuned for
where we go from here on this important issue.>> To stay in the loop on this issue, join the Twin Ports Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons on facebook.
