That's just baffling.. Considering 10 years ago they had a ruling against keeping a cross on an official city seal, now they're using public tax dollars to pay for a religious statue on city ground? Can you ignore the Constitution any more?
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I grew up in this city! This is just like them! When you pull into the city, there is a 10 story tall cross right next to the highway. All of my friends when I was younger went to First Christian.
Anyways, thought that was interesting. Edmond using tax dollars to fund religious structures is upsetting, but not surprising. When I lived there, it's such a small town that you know most of everyone, so I knew most of the city council and the mayor, and lets just say it's not unlike them to think of their government as an extension of their religion.
