From Alliance Defending Freedom:
“Freedom from Relgiion Foundation: The city of Hattiesburg, Miss., shouldn’t be using city resources and public tax dollars to promote a May 2 religious observance, FFRF Staff Attorney Elizabeth Cavell told Mayor Johnny L. DuPree in an April 9 letter of complaint.”
SB1119, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, failed to make it out of the House Judiciary Committee yesterday. The bill needed 11 votes to pass, but only received 7.
Rep. Ballinger can run the bill a second time. Read what we wrote about SB1119 yesterday.
