Lake Worth, FL - Liberty Counsel sent a letter to the City of Lake Worth demanding it retract its baseless position that all local churches - some in the community for nearly 100 years - now obtain "business licenses" to continue operating, and for its harassment of newly-established Common Ground Church. The City has threatened Common Ground's landlord with daily fines up to $500 and foreclosure if the "violation" is not corrected by the landlord making the church get a "business license" to meet for worship. Liberty Counsel has demanded that the City drop its plan to have churches obtain business licenses, refund the business license taxes already paid, and retract its threat to Common Ground church and its landlord.
