SJC upholds ruling against religious statues at Quincy building

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld a ruling blocking Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s plan to display statues of Catholic saints at a new public safety building, citing the risk of government endorsement of religion. The court agreed that the statues, costing approximately $850,000, could be perceived as favoring one faith over others and found Koch falsely claimed there was a secular purpose for their display. The statues are now in storage, and the city has spent over $760,000 on their design and construction.
