Ministry's lawsuit against city of Bryan continued until June
A federal lawsuit filed by a church in downtown Bryan to prevent the city from fining it $1,000 a day for operating a 24-hour-a-day ministry has been continued until June 18. Representatives of the city of Bryan and the church, Dad’s Place, spent Monday morning in U.S. District Court in Toledo trying to iron out what issues each side wanted Judge Jack Zouhary to address that day and in the future. Judge Zouhary directed the lawyers for both sides to meet with their respective clients and identify what they felt needed to be tackled, plus getting their answers to specific questions posed by the judge, including if overnight stays is at the root of the dispute. “What questions do you want me to address today and down the road?” Judge Zouhary said. “I applaud the church for taking steps to aid the homeless.”
