Wow, I never thought I'd say this, but I agree 100%
with Eva. How sad that a bonding line item gets passed
with inner city DFL support for a youth center that
has religious programs. The same folks who normally
foam at the mouth and get positively Madisonian in
defense of governmental nonpromotion of religion
suddenly lose their way.
