COCHISE COUNTY, AZ FINES COLLEGE HOUSING MINUTEMEN
By Bryan Preston   ·   April 15, 2005 02:09 PM

This seems entirely out of bounds:


I have received word via E-Mail from Sandra Miller that The Miracle Valley Bible College in Hereford, Arizona has just been fined $750 per day by James E. Vlahovich (Director, Cochise County Planning Department) for offering and providing housing/camping facilities to volunteers of The Minuteman Project. I am sure this will break soon on more familiar news sites, as MMP Director Jim Gilchrist will surely be discussing this in press interviews today.


There is very little information available currently as to the grounds used by Vlahovich to levy the fine. That will surely come available throughout the day and I will update as I am able. Regardless of the technical merits (if any) for the fine, let there be little doubt that the intention is to punish those who support the Minuteman Project by any means available.


Read the rest over at Blue State Conservative. It's hard to imagine a solid justification for singling out this college for a fine for using its own property to house a few volunteers.
