[Vision2020] More on the Pledge (edited)

[Area Man (Dan C)]

(I got my butt chewed by my sister with the teaching degree for not
having a subject or predicate or some kind of dangling participle.  Or
maybe it was a gerund.  Anyhow, it's fixed)

Airies of the Vision . . .

I attended the proceedings of the Latah County Commissioners this
morning for a work-related matter.  As crowded as the parking lot was, I
was surprised that only the Commissioners, the County Clerk and Deputy
clerk (and yours truly) were in Room 2B.  I guess today was a big day in
court.  Anyhow, right off the bat, before starting any business, we all
stand up to do the Pledge of Allegiance.  

Now, I know our County Commissioners pretty well, and I know they peruse
the Vizzz on occasion.  They knew about the discussion about the City
Council and the Pledge.  I asked them if this was a common occurrence.
They all told me that they say the pledge every Monday morning before
starting the county's business.  They figured a weekly affirmation of
their allegiance was not going to tie up too much of their time, and I
was told that it has always been done.  They also wondered why the City
Council stopped.

Maybe our County Commissioners aren't as enlightened as our City
Council?
