Letter: Find common ground with the Dubois County Democratic Party

Recently, I attended a meeting that I found immensely helpful. It was a round table, open forum discussion with participants from the Jasper, Huntingburg, and Ferdinand areas.

Folks were given an opportunity to talk freely about their local concerns and listen to others. Various opinions were expressed, and not everyone agreed, but there was a very real commitment to being agreeable and finding common ground.

I left with a renewed sense of hope in what reasonable people can accomplish together.

It might come as a surprise to learn that this was a meeting of the Dubois County Democratic Party. Who would have guessed that, over and above all the rancor that’s expressed these days, it is possible to find a better way forward?

I encourage others to check out the Facebook page and see for themselves.
