An Inclusive Litany

12/20/99

Jerry Riscoe, who owns a bar in Harmar Township, Pennsylvania, is leading an effort to stop construction of a church next door. He says he has nothing against the Jehovah's Witnesses who planned to build it, but he worried that they would eventually start complaining about him, and would enjoy an unfair legal advantage. Riscoe said he found it "strange that Pennsylvania has a law prohibiting a bar from being built next to a church, but... nothing to stop a church from being built next to a bar."
