NC: Majority at meeting jubilant over appeal decision

Winston-Salem Journal: “Loud cheers broke out at the county’s Government Center when the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners decided last night to appeal a federal judge’s decision to ban sectarian prayer before board meetings . . . Several in the crowd quietly criticized Commissioner Walter Marshall when he defended his position against the appeal and attacked the Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative Christian legal group who had paid the county’s legal costs and promised to pay for the county’s appeal.”
