I do not understand why City Hall would have to spend my tax dollars on frivolus winter solstice holiday decorations (which clearly look to me like Christmas trees - with or with-out the religious conotation).

This is a place that either needs to encompass everyone or stay secular. (shades of the argument about what book to use to be sworn in on)

At the ON legislature a 10 foot tall chanukiah will be lit by the priemer (at I am sure little to cost to the taxpayer). It will be a few feet away from the Christmas tree they lit a few days ago. Comprimise.
