The Illinois Municipal League is asking elected and appointed officials of governmental bodies to adopt a ‘Civility Pledge’.
The Pledge reads…’In the interest of civility, I pledge to promote civility by listening, being respectful of others, acknowledging that we are all striving to support and improve our community and understanding that we each may have different ideas for achieving that objective.’
Salem city council members will become the first in the area to be asked to read and sign a copy of the Civility Pledge at Monday night’s meeting.
