This is all well and good, and yes freedom of religion is important. But the council seems quite deliberately to be ignoring the fact that since 1975 Scientology has wanted to and even tried to take over Clearwater. Mark Bunker even spoke at this meeting and brought that up clearly. Why are they ignoring this important point? Surely they must know at least some of the history of Clearwater - Scientology relations? That they tried to smear a former Clearwater mayor as a bigamist, and set up a fake hit-and-run to get him in trouble? That a Scientology magazine says precisely that their goal is to "make Clearwater the first Scientology city"? So why this deliberate blindness on the part of this council?
