City of Brotherly Love
Philadelphia has raised the rent on the Boy Scouts’ city headquarter by $199,999 as punishment for the scout policy of barring homosexuals from being scout leaders. The city council voted to reverse a 1928 ordinance allowing the Council to have it headquarter on public land for $1 a year. This follows similar actions in San Francisco and Boston.
The real losers in this is the kids who will be impacted by this decision. This increase is the cost of 30 new Cub Scout packs or the costs of sending 800 kids to camp. (more)
