"California Supreme Court Asked to Decide if Airport is a Public Forum"
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
State Supreme Court asked to help resolve Hare Krishna suit
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO - A federal appeals court has asked the California Supreme
Court to help it decide if the Hare Krishna religious organization can
solicit donations at Los Angeles International Airport.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday asked California's highest
court to determine whether the airport is a "public forum" under state law.
Though the California Supreme Court doesn't have to answer the question, the
federal appeals court says an answer will help decide the outcome of the
Hare Krishna group's legal challenge to a Los Angeles' city law barring
solicitations of donations at the airport.
