Bah Humbug Greetings from Loudoun Supervisor Jim Burton

Thankfully, there were seven members of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors who had the guts to overrule the decision to ban religious displays on the grounds of the county courthouse by the Courthouse Grounds and Facility Task Force. The decision of these seven members allowed a nativity scene, as well as a Menorah to be displayed on the grounds of the county courthouse. 

However, there was one member who voted against this effort, and that was Blue Ridge District Supervisor Jim "Bah Humbug" Burton.  Burton voted against this bill.  According to Leesburg Today, Burton voted against overruling the decision, because this issue needed more study and that the decision was hastily made. Another supervisor almost voted against this as well, and that was Dulles District Supervisor, Stevens Miller, who said, "if you're going to have free speech then you have to make sure everyone has it" and that he believes "we are going to find that this has undesirable consequences."

The question now becomes: Whatever happened to having Christmas (or Holiday) spirit? I guess seven members have it, while one has contracted Bah Humbug-itis.

You're a mean one, Mr. Burton!
