• Hinsdale Leader Accuses Local Conservative Of Politicizing 9/11 (patch.com) — Hinsdale's village president Greg Hart is pushing back after local conservative activist Kristina McCloy used the town's Sept. 11 commemoration and his outreach to Muslim residents to launch partisan attacks. Hart, a Republican himself, says her comments misrepresented congressional boundaries, unfairly targeted Muslims who call Hinsdale home, and undermined the unity the community sought to honor during the 25th anniversary event.
