City was at fault, not the church

Dear editor:

Referencing the headline used last week concerning the expensive lawsuit to the city, I would expect less bias from the Mountain Home News. It was worded as if the cost to the city was caused by the church's lawsuit.

Who really was the perpetrator and who was the victim?

I believe the church was the victim. The city council initiated the problem, along with their advisors, and is the cause of the cost to the city.

The church members were protecting themselves and their right as established under law. Fortunately, in this case, the courts agreed on who was the perpetrator by upholding the existing laws.

Thank you.
