Mayor withdraws refugee resolution

Council members voted to withdraw the Sandpoint resolution supporting refugee resettlement Wednesday night, bringing an end to a heated, month-long controversy. Cheers erupted from the audience when Sandpoint Mayor Shelby Rognstad asked the council to withdraw the resolution from consideration. A measure meant to counter statements from the Bonner County commissioners and sheriff opposing the resettlement of refugees, the resolution was intended to restate Sandpoint’s commitments to human rights, according to Rognstad/ Cameron Rasmusson , Sandpoint Reader.
