Impact analysis
Taxpayers could end up footing legal bills if this turns into a church-state lawsuit, though no costs are on the table yet.
People who want the monument to stay—often citing tradition or faith—could get a win if the council backs the display.
Residents who don't share the majority faith—or anyone who wants government neutral on religion—could feel excluded, and the city risks a lawsuit.
