Committee member says resolution to display 'In God We Trust' and Ten Commandments will be filed
Summary
A committee member announced at the Jan. 17 meeting that they will bring a resolution next Thursday to display 'In God We Trust' and provide copies of the Ten Commandments in county buildings; speaker said a similar measure had previously passed unanimously.
A committee member announced during other business at the Jan. 17 Committee of the Whole meeting that they will bring a resolution asking the court to display "In God We Trust" and distribute Ten Commandments prints for county buildings.
The speaker said the measure would be presented at the home court next Thursday and noted a prior, similar resolution had previously been adopted unanimously. "I'll be bringing a resolution... We've been given 25 copies of the Ten Commandments displaying our buildings," the committee member said during the announcement.
Why it matters: the resolution is ceremonial in nature but will be formally presented to the court and placed on an upcoming agenda; the committee member indicated they are raising it for a formal vote at a future meeting.
Next step: speaker said the resolution will be filed and presented at the next scheduled home court meeting; no formal vote occurred during the Jan. 17 session.
