Kissimmee, Florida's City Commission Backs Away From A Proposal To Add "In God We Trust" To The City's Logo

The Orlando Sentinel reports that the proposed ordinance to add "In God We Trust" to the city logo was withdrawn after Commissioner Art Otero told a reporter that he feared the country was moving toward "liberal postures such as homosexuality, gay marriage, abortion and the legalization of marijuana."

The Orlando Sentinel reports, however, that "Art Otero is not letting go of his effort to add the words 'In God We Trust' to the city logo and says he will take the initiative to a referendum if needed. An ordinance that added the motto passed on first reading through the City Commission last month but was withdrawn last week by the board, after Mayor Jim Swan said that Otero's comments had brought 'ridicule' on the city."
