Welcome to the “people’s house.”

Thank you to the new City Council and Mayor Al Heggins for recognizing all citizens in their vote to have a moment of silence and reflection at the beginning of each meeting.

The fact is that Salisbury has become a diverse community representing many faiths. A moment of silence provides everyone with the opportunity to pray for the success of our Council in their own way. A moment of silence and reflection does not in any way discount any religious tradition. Rather, it embraces all religions.
