Milwaukee Reviewing Good Friday Closures

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
On Tuesday, the Freedom from Religion Foundation wrote Milwaukee (WI) Mayor Tom Barrett (full text of letter) complaining that the city acted unconstitutionally when it closed numerous city offices in observance of Good Friday. FFRF argued that the closures violate a 1996 federal district court ruling finding that Wisconsin's statute declaring Good Friday a legal holiday violates the Establishment Clause. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Milwaukee City Attorney is reviewing the city's situation after receiving FFRF's letter.
