Revisions proposed for the city of East Wenatchee's banner display policy went undiscussed by city council members, who opted to table the matter after hearing more than an hour of public comment in favor of continuing to allow Pride banners.
Tabled, the topic may return for discussion at the city's next meeting, Nov. 4.
