Statesboro city council members will consider this morning whether to approve a memorandum of understanding with First Baptist Church, in which the city would provide labor for extending a 10-inch water line from the intersection of Hill and Oak Streets to the new church sanctuary. We believe council members should not approve the memorandum for two primary reasons: 1. It would set a bad precedent of using taxpayer money that essentially would invite any church to request city assistance for capitol projects.
