Bless America signs altered over religion concerns in Nevada
In Sparks Nevada City Attorney Chet Adams ordered removal of God from patriotic City Hall signs after September 11 fears of religious endorsement. An employee snipped the word, leaving phrases like Bless America. Adams cited lawsuits while others mourn the loss of expression. Detective Morris said police hope public alerts deter theft of art. The Lassen Galerie notes two Disney Mickey paintings stolen are valued near 800000.
