Thanked the council for the lockout resolution, called the lockout blatant union busting, and proposed a $10-per-barrel tax on oil refined in Lake County to fund schools, fire, police and libraries.

The Gary councilman-at-large thanked the county for its support and challenged all town and city councils to pass similar resolutions; Gary passed its own on June 16.
