The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
The new Richmond County Law Enforcement Center is almost complete, and as the employees box up their belongings and get ready for the big move across the street, Insiders are wondering about the upcoming lawsuit.
No, not the one against the builder of the soon to be demolished Law Enforcement Center — no one can remember who built the moldy monstrosity. Nope, this one has to do with the three crosses built into the new building’s façade.
Southern cities are notorious for enriching the attorneys who defend them when it comes to God and morality lawsuits. A prime example was Augusta’s attempt to block X-Mart from opening by the slaughterhouse on Gordon Highway. Remember that? Even the commissioners at the time admitted they were going to be on the losing side of that argument, but that didn’t stop them from digging in their heels, and once they did, the money really started to flow.
Ultimately, their stubbornness cost Augusta taxpayers close to a million dollars.
So what do the powers that be think about the latest taxpayer dollars about to be frittered away? One thing is for sure — they ain’t gonna let no west coast liberal tell them they have to separate church and state. At least not when they’ve got our money to fight it.You Might Also Like:
