Judges Blocks State Government Money For Two North La. Churches
Author: AP Source: Journal Gazette
Title: JUDGES BLOCKS STATE GOVERNMENT MONEY FOR TWO NORTH LA. CHURCHES

U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance sided with the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a lawsuit in August to stop the payments, which aren't tied to certain programs, but to the churches themselves.

If a church or religous organization can't open their financial book keeping and explain where money is being filtered to,
then there is a serious problem to begin with.

Which is even more unusual. I am surprised that even a state government would think they could get away with just giving that kind of money to a couple of churches without even saying why.

You mean to tell me the government actually did something right? In Louisiana of all places?
