Newburgh to condemn bigotry

NEWBURGH – In the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend when white supremacists clashed with anti-protestors, Newburgh city officials are going to adopt a resolution condemning bigotry.
“You can’t fight hate with more hate,” said Mayor Judy Kennedy.
Councilman Torrance Harvey wants the city’s stance formalized.
“We, as a city and community, and as a city government, should take a stand and make a resolution and reflect the record that we stand against bigotry and hate and acts of racial hate and crimes that we witnessed this past Saturday,” Harvey said.
Councilwoman Hillary Rayford said the key is to love everyone.
