"violates separation of church and state provisions in the U.S. and state constitutions."
There are no such provisions - this is just outrageous.
And .. if they're so determined to move the cross to some church property - why on earth can't the city remove the height restriction for the cross ..?? I don't understand that.
I was just imagining last night that such special consideration on height restriction might be challenged on a similar basis as the cross itself!
