Statesboro resident Don Armel asked City Council this week to abandon its practice of having a council member, the mayor or another person they choose pray to open council meetings. Armel linked his request to the city’s recent resolution declaring Statesboro a “Safe and Inclusive Welcoming City for All People.” Speaking for two minutes as the only person on the agenda for the public comments segment at the end of Tuesday morning’s meeting, Armel cited Resolution 2017-14 by number.
