I have a call in to the Mayor's office and I'll post an update when I receive a response. Below are a few key statements pulled from the full resolution - it's short, so go read it (listed under "Other"):
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that The U.S. Conference of Mayors calls for the Administration to begin planning immediately for the swift and prudent redeployment of the US Armed Forces; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that The U.S. Conference of Mayors calls for future U.S. Military Aid; reconstruction funding, and other support to be tied to the achievement of verifiable goals by the Iraqi government, including ridding Iraqi security forces of militia or sectarian influence;
UPDATE 6-27-07: I just received the following message from John Perlich:
The Mayor was not in attendance when the vote on the Iraq resolution took place. The Mayor favors a change in policy to bring troops home.I had assumed that was the case but it's always nice to know for sure...
