Controversial Hawkins Sign Will Stay

HAWKINS — It started when the Freedom From Religion Group sent a letter asking the City of Hawkins to remove a sign. After more than two months of controversy, Hawkins held a special city council meeting to determine whether or not the ‘Jesus Welcomes You to Hawkins’ sign is on city or private property. According to KETK, Attorney Alvin Flynn declared in Monday’s council meeting that it appears the sign is not and has never been on city property. As for now, despite the controversy, the sign remains welcoming you to the city of Hawkins.
