[MissoulaGov] Let's keep it civil

[Ethel MacDonald]

Thank you, Pam.  I agree.  When the voices of youth lack civility it's a
reminder to all of us how much we value and need to maintain respectful
discussions.  It's also a reminder this is a forum open to all who apply and
should be treated with care.  I guess that means we should treat the
participants with care.  Thanks, everybody, for caring about our community!
