From Newsbreak:
The highest court in Massachusetts has unanimously affirmed a lower court ruling prohibiting Quincy Mayor Tom Koch from erecting 10-foot-tall bronze statues of two Catholic saints on the facade of the city’s new public safety building.
A group of residents in Quincy, a city around 10 miles south of Boston, sued over the matter in May 2025. The following September, Judge William Sullivan determined that Koch and the city probably violated the state’s constitutional prohibition against favoring one religious denomination over another or favoring religion over non-religion. Sullivan’s order, known as a preliminary injunction, barred installation of the statues until the case, which is still pending in Norfolk Superior Court, reaches a final resolution.
