Lost respect for the mayor

Our new mayor, Jerry Sanders, seems to be a good guy with the right intentions to get the city back on track after the pension scandal and fiscal disaster. However, last week, he came out saying that he will do all that he can to keep the Mount Soledad cross which is on city owned property. This is after 15 years of it being debated in court, voted on by the votes, etc. The judge has said that the city has 90 days to move it or face a $5000 a day fine. Can’t people leave well enough alone? It is a cross on city property basically saying that the city endorses it. While I’m personally against having religious symbols associated with the government, this is no longer about that; this is about what the justice system and the votes have said needs to move. I’d be more than happy to pitch in $50 to move it if I never have to hear about it again.
