A judge has found that a group of self-described witches may have gotten special treatment from the town of Catskill ”“ and not in a good way.
In a strongly-worded decision issued on Tuesday, Judge George J. Pulver, Jr. of the Greene County Supreme County ruled that the town’s denial of a property tax exemption for the Maetreum of Cybele smacks of discrimination.
“Consistent with [the Matreum’s] claim that it is being discriminated against, respondents’ counsel attempts to hold petitioner to a higher standard than other religious organizations,” Pulver wrote in the decision, a copy of which was obtained by the Watershed Post.
This is what decadence looks like, when great principles are indistinguishable from local skin rashes. Larry
