TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo’s City Council is offering an apology to a group of Marine reservists.
Council members approved the peace offering at its meeting Tuesday.
The Marines from Michigan had been planning to spend last weekend on training exercises in downtown Toledo.
Instead, the city’s mayor told them they weren’t welcome. He says Toledo residents had been frightened by past training.
Now City Council members are apologizing and offering their thanks to the Marines.
