A seemingly innocuous resolution intended to welcome those Afghan refugees was derailed Thursday during a sometimes sharp exchange among the three commissioners.
In the end, the commissioners tabled until next Thursday the resolution supporting the resettlement efforts for those from Afghanistan and declaring the county a "welcoming community."
It was a symbolic resolution, one government bodies often pass without debate on a regular basis.
But two commissioners were concerned the resolution wasn't welcoming enough.
Commissioners Alicia Reece and Stephanie Dumas wanted to make sure the resolution included Haitians seeking refuge in the region.
