Hey, Cape May Beach Spouter who asked: “Why is election day, and a few others, a day off with pay (public employees) at the taxpayers' expense?” At least that is government related (elections) activity. I have a better question for you. Why does the ACLU go after public property displays of Nativity scenes and Menorahs, while ignoring the multi-million-dollar taxpayer funded expense of a religious (Xmas) paid holiday for public employees? I wrote them a letter once, they ignored me. I just wanted an explanation for the hypocrisy.
