Jersey City Parking Lot Ends Discounts For Jehovah's Witnesses

In Jersey City, New Jersey, the privately owned Square Parking parking garage has ended its practice of giving discounts to Jehovah's Witnesses, who worship in a nearby theater. A press release issued Tuesday by FFRF and a report yesterday in the Jersey Journal indicate that the discount was stopped after the city followed up on a letter sent to the parking lot by FFRF. FFRF contended that the discount violates federal, state and local non-discrimination laws. Apparently other parking lots in the area are still offering discounts to Jehovah's Witnesses.
