Local Controversy
In October 2003, Calvary Chapel sued Broward County for $1.00 for its initial refusal to allow the church to display a large cross and sign reading "Jesus is the reason for the season" in a 2-mile holiday lights attraction at Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek, FL which drew around 250,000 visitors each year. Calvary won the suit in November and was allowed to display the message.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or controversy:
“Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
