Delaware AG Says Loans and Grant To Churches Were Unconstitutional

The Wilmington, Delaware News Journal reported that a Delaware Attorney General's Opinion released on Wednesday said that three loans and one grant to churches by the town of Middletown, Delaware were probably unconstitutional. Deputy Attorney General Frank N. Broujos said that most of the town's loans to non-profit organizations were probably permissible because they advanced a public purpose. However the grant and loans to churches impermissibly advance religion and religious activities.
