Commissioners accept donation of Ten Commandments monument; location to be decided
Summary
After a legal review citing Supreme Court precedent, the court voted to accept a donated Ten Commandments granite monument from the First Responders Prayer Force; commissioners will decide placement later.
Harrison County Commissioners voted July 29 to accept a donated Ten Commandments granite monument from the First Responders Prayer Force, purchased by General Lewis. County counsel referenced a Supreme Court case indicating counties may post such monuments on public property, and the court approved accepting the gift.
Commissioners discussed possible placement — on the grounds near the newly constructed 1963 courthouse across the street — and agreed to review photos of the finished monument and decide a specific site later. The court recorded no opposition and approved acceptance by unanimous vote.
