Statehouse News Bureau: Disagreement Over Motto Funding

Last year, Ohio legislators passed a law requiring all public schools to display copies of the state and federal mottoes "With God, All Things Are Possible," and "In God We Trust." It raised some eyebrows, especially among groups that advocate a strict separation between church and state. The measure's advocates counter the mottoes may not be paid for by taxpayer money. Instead, they must be donated by outside groups. But how many schools are displaying the mottoes? Statehouse Correspondent Bill Cohen reports.
