County considers participation in "Speak Your Peace" civility project

The Cook County Board of Commissioners is considering a resolution to take part in the “Speak Your Peace” civility project.
 
Rob Karwath from North Coast Communications and Monica Bruning from the Duluth Superior Community Area Foundation visited the county on Monday, December 10 to lead a “Speak Your Peace” event in Grand Marais.
 
The next day they spoke at the commissioner’s meeting after which the county board discussed whether or not it should pass a motion to become involved with “Speak your Peace.”
 
Commissioner Bob Deschampe said he would like to speak with other counties and his colleagues in county government before adopting the resolution.
 
His colleagues agreed, voting to the table the resolution until January.
 
Just what is under consideration? What is “Speak your Peace”? WTIP’s Rhonda Silence spoke with the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation representatives to learn more. Here’s that conversation.
