On Sept. 5, The Advocate front-page story reporting on a meeting that we chaired claimed that “confusion abounds.” The reporter missed the real story of the meeting. In fact, civil discourse abounded. The crowd of over 150 residents gathered at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church were treated to a rare calm and reasoned conversation. At this gathering, proponents — along with people who were undecided or opposed to the new city — sat together and had a very civil and respectful conversation.
