San Diego ACLU to Bill Horn: Three Strikes and You’re Out!
SAN DIEGO – Upon being alerted by San Diego CityBeat that Supervisor Bill Horn had proposed a $10,000 grant from the supervisor’s taxpayer-funded “Neighborhood Reinvestment Fund” to an organization with a professed religious mission, the San Diego ACLU sent a letter to the Board advising supervisors that approval of the grant would violate the Constitution. Shortly before the item was to be voted on at the Tuesday, September 11 Board meeting, the item was removed by Supervisor Horn.
