U.S. mayors voted Monday in favor of a resolution calling on Congress to wind down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan so the money can be rerouted to domestic priorities. It’s the first time since the Vietnam War that mayors have banded together to urge such action.
There was some disagreement among the mayors who were in Baltimore for the 79th annual U.S. Conference of Mayors, with some of them worrying that the resolution (number 59 in this list) might send a message to members of the U.S. military that they didn’t have the support of the municipal chief executives.
