POLITENESS POLICY DIES AMID CITY COUNCIL BICKERING: MENIFEE (AP) — A proposed politeness policy that asked the Menifee City Council to remain civil during meetings died after council members spent 15 minutes arguing about the idea. The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Thursday that council members mostly bickered about a sentence that asked them to discuss disagreements privately instead of sniping at each other at meetings. Some members were concerned that could give the impression they were having closed-door meetings about city business.
