CCR2012075-Civil Discourse
COMMON COUNCIL - CITY OF MUSKEGO
RESOLUTION #075-2012
RESOLUTION PROMOTING CIVIL PUBLIC DISCOURSE
Whereas, the principle of civility is the foundation of democracy and the rule of law; and
Whereas, public discourse today is all too often composed of divisive attacks rather
than meaningful consideration of important public issues, which leads to ineffective
public decision making, citizen frustration, and damage to our democracy; and
Whereas, municipal officials play an important role in shaping public behavior as
community leaders and, therefore, have a special opportunity to help steer public
discourse in a more civil direction.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Common Council of the City of Muskego urges
all government officials and employees, political parties, media representatives,
advocacy organizations, and candidates for political office and their supporters to strive
toward a more civil public discourse in the conduct of political activities and in the
administration of the affairs of government.
TH
DATED THIS 24 DAY OF JULY, 2012.
MAYOR KATHY CHIAVEROTTI
CITY OF MUSKEGO COMMON COUNCIL
