Councilman Mike Walter introduced the resolution: âThe Common Council of the City of Auburn, taking note of the KKK event anticipated in our community on April 3 and that did not take place, commends Mayor Michael D. Ley for his statement issued March 31 repudiating the KKKâs âideologies of hatred and intoleranceâ and stating firmly that âthere is no place for intolerance in our community.â The Common Council joins Mayor Ley in calling for a community of âmutual respect, inclusion and caring for our neighbors.ââ The Texas-based Church of the Ku Klux Klan spent two months promoting online its plans for an âIndiana White Unity Meet and Greetâ at an undisclosed private property in Auburn.
