Commissioners discuss when to take breath during Pledge of Allegiance
Commissioners discuss when to take breath during Pledge of AllegianceFirst they paused.

Then, they discussed the pause.

The Sedgwick County Commission’s first order of business Wednesday was a request to take the pause out of the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Kelly Parks said he hoped it would eliminate the “echo” effect:

“It’s come to my attention that when we say the Allegiance there is kind of an echo, so let’s just say ‘one nation under God’ without a pause,” Parks said.

They did. Business went on.

The meeting had just been called to order shortly after 9 a.m.

The commissioners, staff and visitors in the gallery had stood for the invocation, led by Pastor Brent Warkentin from the First Mennonite Brethren Church.
