Sandpoint will always be tolerant, compassionate

Wednesday, Jan. 20, I asked the council to withdraw the resolution affirming the city of Sandpoint’s commitment to human rights and non-discrimination. I had proposed the resolution because I felt it was important for the city to take a symbolic stance affirming our compassion for those fleeing extreme violence and poverty. I also felt that it affirmed our traditional American values of religious and ethnic tolerance and respect of human rights.
