" Oz,
You complain about the village board squandering at least $600. That amount would add up to less than 10 cents for each resident of Holmen. I would guess that most of them will be OK with it. I have a couple dollars in change in my car for those who would oppose it. "

" Good job Holmen. The one thing that people forget is that the cross by itself is not a religious symbol. It was used by the Romans as a very cruel
punishment. It was only after Christ was crucified that it became a religious symbol and then only with Christ on it. The Cross is also used as a grave marker and it is used in many Military Cemeteries. Try taking that Cross out of Government property and see what happens. It looks like the side of right won out on this one. The very small but loudmouth minority is out of luck. "

You have no grounds for a suit, the elected board is part of this great republic, and they are fully within their jurisdiction voting their conscience. Not everyone gets what they want in Democracy or a Republic. "

" oz, you're the only one that I see "spitting" hate..why are you so bitter, negative and angry? You're insinuating an awful lot about the Village Board "behind the scenes" & now you're accusing the supporters as complainers of high taxes & money squandering, not to mention that we're not Christians? Lesssseeee, unless you know more about me than I do, You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor..need I say more? "

" Sorry oz, the cross is staying. People who like the cross aren't worried about the bottom line. $600 isn't much to keep something that the people want. Oh, and to say Chrit would have nothing to do with these people shows how little you know about Christ - which is probably why you want the cross gone. "

" It amazes me how the same people who complain about high taxes seem to be OK with the village board squandering at least $600, or how so many who call themselves "Christians" keep spitting hate. These hate-mongering "X-ians" (Christ would have nothing to do with them) are exhibit A for why that cross has to come down. "

" OK oz, why don't you file suit against the Holmen Village Board? If you feel strongly about it, put your money where your mouth is. Ante up your own income and drag the issue through the court system for years at your expense. "

" Good job Holmen for acting in a manner that represents your constituants NOT the outside lobby clan. There is more to life than just money, and if it keeps the town happy that you're not making an addition $600, so be it. Keep up such actions!! You are voted in to represent your community and to act on behalf of those that voted you in!! Finally democracy at it's finest!! "

" The Village of Holmen has represented their community in a humble, noble & righteous method. The star, cross & flag that sit on top of that hill explains exactly what this community is about! Thank you to Lions Club for their past & future maintenance of the star & cross, I APPRECIATE IT! "
