Council Prayer Fight
Here we go again! The fight over public prayer in the legislature may be moving from the Statehouse to the City-County Building. City-County Councilmember Roselle Boyd warned the Council they may have to eliminate sectarian prayers at the opening of the session if the state loses its own prayer battle in federal court. Some council members oppose any change. Republican Scott Schneider says he’ll fight any effort to change prayer before the council sessions. A few months ago City-County Councilor Angela Mansfield sent an e-mail to her fellow councilors warning them the body could be looking at litigation if it did not end sectarian prayers. Lord help me, here we go again!
