Summary

Mayor Stanzilis used the June 3 council meeting to reiterate that Mount Arlington is an inclusive community, saying "Hate has NO home here" and directly addressing LGBTQ residents that they are "seen" and "welcome."

At the borough council's June 3 meeting, Mayor Stanzilis delivered a statement marking Pride Month and reaffirmed Mount Arlington's commitment to inclusivity. "Hate has NO home here," the mayor said, adding that the flags of the United States and New Jersey "represent all Americans" and that the borough aims to treat "every resident...with dignity, respect, and fairness."

Stanzilis explicitly addressed members of the LGBTQ community: "You are seen. You are respected. You are welcome here." The mayor framed the comments as part of a broader call for neighbors to focus on shared commitments to kindness and respect despite differences of opinion.

The remarks were delivered as part of the mayor's report early in the meeting and were not followed by debate or motions. The council proceeded with routine agenda business after the statement.
