A resolution that would have urged Gov. J.B. Pritzker to veto a sweeping criminal justice reform bill was narrowly shot down by the Naperville City Council, despite entreaties from local law enforcement leaders.
Council members Paul Hinterlong, Patty Gustin and Kevin Coyne brought forward the proposal Tuesday denouncing the General Assembly's passage of House Bill 3653 in the final hours of a lame-duck session last week.
