Downers Grove Commissioner Greg Hosé said he regretted not speaking out at a Village Council meeting earlier this month over the library. At that meeting, he said, the chambers were filled with “hateful, anti inclusive rhetoric.”
Daily Herald opinion: Threats of violence that the Downers Grove library s staff has received about its planned drag-themed bingo event for teenagers in October, or that any institution or business receives over its activities, are simply unacceptable.
Downers Grove officials are considering expanding outdoor dining regulations beyond its historic downtown. Village commissioners are weighing safety issues and how long restaurants would be able to maintain temporary dining tents.
