Can anybody in the midwest confirm this?

Flint Journal: Lawmaker's Comments On Wiccans Last Straw For Us

Author: Journal Editorial Board Source: The Flint Journal First Edition (MI)

Title: REVERSAL ON STAHL

When you realize you've made a mistake, it is best to admit it and move on. And that's what The Flint Journal's editorial board is doing today with regard to its Oct. 8 endorsement for the state House seat in Lapeer County.

We had reluctantly endorsed incumbent John Stahl, R-Arcadia Twp., over his Democratic challenger, David Okasinski, a teacher from Metamora Township.

Now Stahl has taken another indefensible position, and it became the last straw for us. He told residents of an Oregon Township neighborhood that he wants to help them in their efforts to get rid of a "temple" for practicing the Wiccan religion. He said this without proof that the residents are breaking any laws or otherwise harming the neighborhood by using their home in this way.

It confirms our doubts about Stahl's judgment and means we cannot in good conscience maintain our endorsement of him.
