Two residents suing Hamilton County commissioners in federal court over prayers held during meetings amended their complaint today to include events from Thursday's meeting.
Brandon Jones' and Tommy Coleman's new filing names Hamilton County, rather than the nine commissioners and County Attorney Rheubin Taylor in their official capacities. The amendment includes content from Thursday's invocation and the proposed policy on invocation speakers that commissioners introduced and plan to vote on Tuesday.
"The policy is a sham to cover the true intent [of] the defendant through its commission: Advance Christianity over all other religions or nonreligions," the amended complaint states.
