City Hikes Boy Scouts' Rent By $199,000 Over Gay Ban

[Psycho4Bud]

Howdy Y'all,

I just want to point out-that the Boy Scouts built this building and in exchange,the city only charged em one dollar rent for the land.

The Boy Scouts are willing to pay a fair rent,but raising the rent by so much,violates the city's own ordinances against such.

At any rate..it's clear that this is yet another front-line in the Culture War.

The Scouts should demand their building back.

Have a good one ...

If the Boy Scouts built it then I'll have to agree with ya. They should demand the property back if the city wants to act like that.

Have a good one!:s4:
