Alaska: ACLU wants church property tax exemption erased
Sean Cockerhman reports on the Anchorage Daily News:
The contentious case strikes at the heart of the relationship between religion and politics in Alaska. It’s a battle about whether church-owned property should be taxed, and the main player, the Anchorage Baptist Temple, has a large congregation and political influence.
The ACLU wants Anchorage Superior Court Judge Michael Spaan to throw out a 2006 state law exempting church-owned religious teachers’ housing from property taxes . . .
Anchorage Baptist Temple was represented in court by a lawyer for the Liberty Counsel, associated with the late Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University School of Law.
