The Durango Herald: Durango City Council tabled a discussion about whether to restrict public comments to “city business” this week after about 30 residents filled council chambers demanding councilors pass a symbolic resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

City Council was scheduled to consider a different kind of resolution – one that would effectively limit public discourse at its regularly scheduled meeting.

Mayor Melissa Youssef proposed the resolution a couple of weeks ago after members of the Durango Palestinian Solidarity Coalition began showing up requesting City Council adopt a resolution in support of a ceasefire. The city billed its resolution as a means to keep meetings on-topic, on-pace and to prevent “Zoom bombings.”
