10Cs Block Moves To Vets Plaza

Item: Commandments make a move: Marble block now sits at the Veterans Plaza/Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: The commandments aren't gone. They've justrelocated. Kootenai County has moved the block of marble inscribed with the Ten Commandments from the courthouse lawn to the Veterans Plaza, beside the Administration Building. The small monolith was moved several hundred feet so it would sit among other pieces for public viewing, said Building and Grounds Manager Shawn Riley, like the memorial for fallen soldiers and seamen, and the statue for former Commissioner Ronald Rankin.

Question: Should the Ten Commandments be posted at the Kootenai County Courthouse?
