Civility Matters

After nearly a year, I feel like our community is turning a corner toward healing after a period of vitriol, personal attacks, and frankly dangerous threats and actions leveled at our fellow citizens and city officials.

We all have a responsibility to one another to continue our journey down the path of civility while seeking common ground. This arraignment in Cadillac today is a good reminder of how easily things can get out of hand. We are better when we root our civic conversations in respect.

Thanks to ALL who are working, on both sides of the debates facing our city, to provide more light and less heat. It is making a difference and we are a better community because of your efforts.

Please take care of each other and have a good weekend!
