Also, when cities have to cut services, usually employees are being laid off. No one thinks about the consequences of frivilous lawsuits!
That is what happens when you vote for bigots.

I am a Christian. And for the most part I dislike Christians because most of them are hate filled bigoted nutcases.

Bigots? A large majority of folks in the US celebrate Christmas versus Jewish holidays. Christmas decorations are EVERYWHERE so why is this particular city being singled out?

You must hang out with the wrong crowd. The christians I see are generous, caring, giving and loving.

Just curious ... What type of Christian are you KevK? I'm asking because I am legitimately curious since you seem to hold Christians and Christianity with such contempt.

This city is being singled out for having CHRISTmas messages and not allowing other religions the same right. I don't care if they put up CHRISTmas stuff as long as the others can put up their stuff. But they told the Jews they can only put up their stuff for a single day. Most cities do not put up CHRISTmas stuff but HOLIDAY stuff like lights, trees and "happy holidays".

And so the answer is to hit the city (er tax payers) with hefty legal costs, etc during an economic downturn?

Right, completely discounting the fact that this is a predominantly chistian holiday. If the town were to put up dwali decorations awesome. But the fact of the matter is that chistmas is a bigger holiday to christians than Chanukkah is to Jews. Therefore more christmas decorations.
