Notice the following - the menorah is located:

...next to the Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado building.

Note that this is not city-owned or -operated property.

Nobody here in Merrimack is complaining about the creche on the lawn of the local Catholic church, the key aspect being that it is on the lawn of the church, not the town hall.

No, but he's a government official acknowledging and participating in (in his official capacity as mayor) in a religious ceremony. I have no problem with that. What I have a problem with, is his then turnign around and saying that government can't acknowledge Christmas. It's a double standard, and it's anti-Christian bigotry.

But, but, but...people can see that menorah from public streets, and might become offended! They should put it where it can't be seen by the general public, or even accessed from public property, because we just can't run the risk of offending skinheads or other neo-nazis like the ACLU.
