Orland Park's disrespectful mayor bullies residents

75 residents & taxpayers went to the local village board & asked the council to approve a ceasefire resolution for Gaza. The village passed a resolution for Ukraine. Instead, the mayor bullied them

- Suburban Chicago Mayor in Orland Park Keith Pekau bullies residents who asked him to support a resolution urging a ceasefire in the carnage in Gaza that has taken 30,000 lives. The 75 residents were respectful and believed they had a right to demand action considering that American taxpayers have given Israel more than $32 billion in taxpayer funds just in the past three months.

What they got was a one-sided lecture and disrespect from Orland Park's far rightwing mayor, Keith Pekau.

Five residents from the community addressed the board in a very civil manner. There were no protests or civil unrest. But Pekau, who is one of the region's most intolerable elected officials, went on a rant conveying a one-sided narrative that distorted the conflict's history.
