FL Faith-Based Advisory Board Challenged Under Blaine Amendment
The Tallahassee Democrat reports this morning on a suit filed in Leon County Circuit Court challenging the activities of the Governor's Faith Based and Community Advisory Board. The Council for Secular Humanism, one of the plaintiffs, argues that the activities violate the provisions in Art. I, Sec. 3 of Florida's Constitution that prohibit direct or indirect use of state funds to aid any church, sect, religious denomination or sectarian institution.
