No More Jesus at Town Council
As we win one for the Gipper :-)
Tuscaloosa: "The woman who fought Great Falls all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court over the Town Council's opening prayers plans to keep living in the Chester County community.
'I know they are trying to run me out of town but I'm not going anywhere,' Darla Wynne said.
The high court refused to hear Great Falls appeal of a lower court's ruling that a prayer that mentions Jesus is not allowed because it favors one religious faith.
Wynne sued the Chester County town in 2001 after town council refused to either limit prayers to those mentioning only 'God' or allow members of different religions to give their own prayers.
Wynne practices Wicca, a nature-based religion based on ancient Western European and pre-Christian beliefs.
She called Tuesday's decision a victory for common people.
The town also will have to pay Wynne $40,000 in legal fees, said Herbert Buhl III, Wynne's lawyer. "
