IIRC, tax dollars are not an issue - - YET. What I find interesting is the defensive argument of property /first amendment rights as an unassailable shield thrust against the opposition to these mosques on/near ground zero footprints. 1. the Cordoba initiative is planned for a bldg which was damaged by plane fueslage and debris from WTC towers on 9/11 so it is as much part of ground zero as the twin towers. 2. There isn't sufficient funding for the Cordoba Mosque
Short on Allah dollars Why would NYC grant permits for an unfunded project?
