County will display 'In God We Trust' motto
The motto “In God We Trust” will be displayed in the public meeting room of the Butler County Government Center.
The county commissioners this morning voted to install a plaque in the first floor room where voting meetings are held.
Commissioners Dale Pinkerton and Bill McCarrier supported the move, which was prompted by a nationwide initiative from the nonprofit organization In God We Trust-America Inc.
Commissioner Jim Eckstein opposed the motion, saying he believes in the separation of church and state.
