‘In God We Trust’ motto approved by Klamath County officials

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Klamath County commissioners have voted to place an “In God We Trust” sign in their meeting room after receiving input from the public.

The Herald and News reported that commissioners made their decision Tuesday. A majority of residents who spoke during the commissioners’ meeting were in favor of the sign and more than 100 sent emails voicing their support.

Residents against the “In God We Trust” motto have said the sign would violate separation of church and state laws. Supporters have argued the sign is a representation of the country’s religious history and appropriate to display in a government building.

The sign will be funded by donations and crafted by a local metalworker.
