Borough staff will also research whether to place similar displays in public libraries.
PALMER — The Ten Commandments and six other historical documents will be placed on permanent display in a lobby outside the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly chambers, according to a resolution unanimously approved by the assembly on Tuesday.
“Unless you know your history, you don’t have anything to be proud of,” Bernier said during the meeting. “That’s what’s wrong with this culture today. They don’t know where they came from.” Bernier initially intended to propose a resolution calling for the display of only the Ten Commandments but said a borough attorney advised him that doing so could open the borough to legal action. Placing a display of multiple texts that includes the Ten Commandments would likely not bring such a challenge, he said.“There’s no prohibition of displays that use the Ten Commandments as you would any other historical document,” he said during the meeting.
