Mosque Denied in Mayfield, ACLU Watches Situation

Published: Aug. 27, 2010, 4 a.m.

This week, the Mayfield zoning board denied a conditional use permit that would have allowed a mosque in the city's downtown. This is the first conditional use permit submitted by a religious organization the board has denied. No member of the Somali Muslims that submitted the application was present. As Angela Hatton reports, the Kentucky branch of the American Civil Liberties Union is keeping an eye on the situation.
