San Diego Votes To File Appeal In Mt. Soledad Cross Case

In San Diego, California on Tuesday, city council voted 5-3 to direct city attorney Mike Aguirre to appeal the decision by a federal judge ordering removal of the Mt. Soledad Cross. (See prior posting.) The city faces a $5,000 per day fine if it does not meet the trial judge's 90-day deadline for the removal. Yesterday's Christian Post reports on this development, and on the city attorney's suggestion that perhaps the city could take down the cross, sell the land to the highest bidder, and let that person decide what to do with the land. The new owner might reinstall the cross.
