Wis. Mayor Working On Holiday Display Policy

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) ― The city of Green Bay could have a policy in place for Christmas displays even before a federal judge rules on whether the city violated the Constitution.

Mayor Jim Schmitt recently met with clergy members to get their ideas on a city policy. They agreed that the city should stick with secular decorations and leave the religious displays to area churches and synagogues.

Schmitt said he hopes to present a policy to the city council in October.

That means new rules could be in place before U.S. Judge William Griesbach rules on a lawsuit filed against the city by the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation for the city nativity scene installed last Christmas.

Oral arguments in the lawsuit are set to begin Sept. 15.
