Silverton Mayor Shane Fuhrman announced at Monday’s town trustee meeting that the Pledge of Allegiance would no longer be recited at the start of the meetings.
“Due to direct and indirect threats, inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings and general divisiveness and issues created in our community, we will not be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance during Town of Silverton trustee meetings,” Fuhrman said.
Fuhrman’s announcement wasn’t accepted with open arms. Immediately following his statement, Silverton Trustee Molly Barela spoke up.
“We already discussed this as a board, and any other unilateral decisions we need to know about?” she asked the mayor.
